1/nA coalition of civil society orgs is mobilizing opposition to a recently passed federal law designed to intensify preparations for a potential military draft. The law allows the Selective Service System to begin automatically registering individuals without their consent, expanding the govt’s database of potential conscripts.
Automatic registration is scheduled to take effect at the end of 2026.
