After getting over 90% of students in her high school to opt out of having their personal contact information shared with recruiters, Maggie is pressuring the governor to get opt-out forms sent to all students in New Jersey.
Her advice to young people who are just getting started:
"Get involved with a group or organization. It can be a student-run club at your school -- Montclair's opt-out policy was implemented in 2004 due to the efforts of OYE OYE, a group at the high school, and has been a huge success, with over 90 percent of students opting out. If you can't find a group, start your own, with some friends and an adult advisor. You can't do this stuff on your own. As a group, you can share ideas, split up the work, and have more influence."
