Disarm Childhood Now

Disarm Childhood Now is a post-war civilian organization based in the New California Republic. The organization is an anti-war organization formed on April 12th, 2279 in response to the legal enlistment and conscription of young NCR citizens, mainly those under 18 and 19, into the military to fight against the NCR's enemies. As such, the DCN was formed as a means of ending the conscription of teenagers and for regulation to recruit soldiers into the NCR Military.
==Overview==
Disarm Childhood Now is an anti-war organization founded in 2279 by Matthew Walberg, an NCR politician and councilman from San Francisco, in response to the passing of the National Service Act of 2279. In the act, NCR citizens ages 16-51 were to register and be eligible for conscription into the New California Republic Defense Force as a means of fighting against Ceasar's Legion in the Mojave Campaign. News of young children fighting and being scarred, wounded or killed on the frontlines reached home and Walberg rallied saddened parents and loved ones to end the act of drafting children and calls for the regulation of NCR military enlistment and recruitment standards, mainly age restrictions. 
Walberg serves as Chairman of DCN while Maddison Waterson, a former medic, is the National Director and co-leader. Members of the organization are primarily parents and/or friends and loved ones of children sent off to fight on the frontlines, though discharged child soldiers are also members and the group seeks to rehabilitate them.
