The current situation in Iraq/Iran is leading many people to wonder about the possible return of the draft. The National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service, created by Congress in 2017, is set to release recommendations in March, and some in the pro-war establishment have been calling for a new draft. If you’re concerned, some resources are listed below.
To talk with a counselor or attorney about registration and the draft, call the Military Law Task Force at 619-463-2369 or the Center on Conscience and War at 202-483-2220.
