Coalition Against Militarism in Our Schools

[1] It serves as a clearinghouse for information on militarism and the effects of the military on youth, student, and parent activism, and is compiling a web library of peace and justice lesson plans.

As of 2007, the group was in 50 schools in the Los Angeles area, providing member teachers with literature, speakers, films, and books.

[6] At Roosevelt High School in the Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles, a local campaign against JROTC cut the number of cadets 43 percent in four years, with a JROTC instructor reporting a 24 percent drop in enrollment from 2003-04 to 2006-07 for the rest of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

[7] CAMS has worked on issues involving involuntary placement of high school students in JROTC programs in Los Angeles Unified School District[citation needed], student privacy issues involving military recruiters, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) testing, limiting military apparatus on public school campuses, and fostering student run peace clubs.

[10] CAMS is currently at work on a non-military job training and placement directory for youth called Project Great Futures.
