Corazon Fabros (International Peace Bureau @intpeacebureau) will speak about the linkages of past and present struggles against US imperialism, the importance of international solidarity and situating women at the forefront of campaigns against US hegemony.

This personal message from a board member at Project YANO recaps and reflects on our work in 2025. Looking to next year, we commit to deepening our struggle against predatory recruitment targeting our youth and communities by the military, Border Patrol, ICE,and other fascistic agencies.

A photo of violent repression from June 2025 in Los Angeles, with people in uniforms reading “Police, Homeland Security” facing away from the camera towards thousands of everyday people, many wearing face masks and holding protest signs and flags. The text below the photo introduces a message from a board member at Project YANO.The board member message continues across three paragraphs of black text on a white background. One sentence in the middle paragraph is highlighted in red: “Earlier this year, the Border Patrol recorded the busiest four-month recruiting stretch with more than 34,000 applicants.”The message continues, highlighting in red “signing bonuses are not guaranteed, you may be ordered to do what goes against your wishes and morals” beneath a photo of a classroom presentation by Project YANO, with about one hundred students in a room watching a recorded veteran’s testimony about false promises of education advertised by military recruiters.
The message continues, highlighting in red “[ICE recruiters] share the same playbook, preying on young people’s despair for the future”, beneath a photo of a Project YANO tabletop display, reading “Attend a 4-year university or study at a community college”, “A career in social change”, “Some things you should know before joining the US military”, “Free money for college”, and additional resources.
