NPP In Action
"National Priorities Project has long been a vital resource for advocacy and organizing by our members. In August 2007, on the eve of key congressional votes on the Iraq war, nearly 5,000 MoveOn members participated in over 160 events around the country highlighting the war’s true cost to local communities. We relied on National Priorities Project’s data to produce customized local reports on “the war at home”—and without NPP, we couldn’t have done it. We thank NPP for the service they provide day in and day out to their partners in the progressive movement."
- Justin Ruben, Executive Director

Midwest: Army representation ratio, 2004-2005The chart below indicates the population representation of recruits for each state in the Midwest region. Each bar represents a ratio of two proportions: the state's share of total active-duty Army recruits over the state's share of the total youth population. A score of one or more means that the state is over-represented in the Army. A score of less than one means that the state is under-represented in the Army for the fiscal year.
Notes: Army data were obtained from the Army through a FOIA request submitted by NPP for 2005; 2004 data was obtained by Peacework magazine through a FOIA request and sent as received to NPP. |
