From 1997 to 2019, we did direct outreach in the public high schools in Austin, Texas as an alternative to military recruitment in the schools. We are committed to the use and advocacy of nonviolence. Our group has included students, teachers, activists, veterans and parents. We're on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/SOYPeaceOptions

Protect Kids, Not Guns -- Worldwide student walk-out, March 14, 2018
Reports are coming in from the widespread student walk-outs today calling for firm gun control legislation that would value the lives of kids over the protection of guns. Even in other countries as disparate as Tanzania, Israel and Iceland, students are taking time out from school to recognize the importance of this issue to students in the US and to recognize the organizing done by so many students on this issue. Nonviolence is powerful! More power to the students!
