The 1st Unitarian Church of Ithaca Social Justice Council, Committee on US-Latin American Relations, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation present:
The Courage to Refuse War: A path to promote nonviolence and social justice
Colombian youth Sebastián Patiño speaks on refusing to participate in war as a member of Conscientious Objectors’ Collective Action (ACOOC).
War and militarism impact youths’ lives, especially when they are convinced, forced, or obligated to be soldiers and fight at the front lines, in futile wars that that profit few.
