Suggested donation is $2 per copy. If you are a no-budget group – we can send you some free copies, otherwise, please contribute what you can to keep this thing rolling. Currently the comic is 16 pages, black and white. We’re hoping to raise funds to print it with color covers (any leads?) but for now, let’s get the message out! If you have access to a good quality copier, you can order one copy, remove the staples, and make your own multiples.
Mixed Signals contains specific information on the enlistment contract, benefits and obligations. It proposes alternative sources of college money and job training, and non-violent forms of community service. Stories about fictional characters alternate with illustrated fact-sheets about military life and non-military opportunities. I questions today’s militaristic climate by raising the issue of conscientious objection, through a fictional character, then two recent cases and a brief history. The comic offers useful, concrete, legal facts, as well as prompting deeper reflection on the role of militarism in our lives and society. Mixed Signals takes vital information from flyers and web sites, and puts it in an appealing, easy-to-pass-along format, to catch the eyes of our most vulerable young citizens.
