What Is Conscientious Objection?
Join the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker for the latest session in the Clarification of Thought Series and learn how to work with folks in the military who are considering seeking conscientious-objector (CO)status and the resources available to support them.
Bill Gavin, counseling coordinator at the Center on Conscience and War, will lead the session. He served as a CO during the Vietnam War and has been an activist since then. The event is Friday, Jan. 7, at 7:30 p.m., at 503 Rock Creek Church Rd. NW. For more information, call 202/882-9649.
