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
