Mothering Magazine this month has an article on how to create a peace file for your child. Basically, if your child (and I’m not just gonna say son, cause daughters will be part of the draft at some point) gets drafted and files for CO status, they need some type of documentation to show that. Mothering suggests tons of things, like teachers letters, photos of the child at peace rallies, homework/essays where peace is the main theme, etc. You get the idea. I think it’s brilliant, but also damn scary that we need to do something like that.
