Description

Cartoons of five young men, dressed in clothes associated with their careers; a doctor in a white coat with a stethescope in his pocket, a lawyer wearing a cloak and wig, a mechanic and a businessman in a suit. The fifth man wears an Army uniform and is a conscript. The accompanying text calls for the abolition of conscription, by communicating the message that all young men deserve to have agency in their adult careers. The Moratorium symbol appears in the lower right of the poster.
