OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma GI Rights Hotline officially began operations on Monday, September 24, undertaking its mission of providing free, confidential, and accurate information on US military regulations and practices to servicemembers, veterans, potential recruits, and their families.
The hotline can be reached at (405) 231-1138. Live counselors will answer on Mondays from 10 AM to 5 PM. On other days messages will be returned within 24 hours. More live hours will be added gradually in the future.
The service is a project of the Oklahoma Center for Conscience, a volunteer organization located in Oklahoma City and supported by Joy Mennonite Church, Veterans for Peace – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Catholic Peace Fellowship and the Religious Society of Friends in Oklahoma City, and funded by individual donations.
The Hotline is to be staffed by volunteers trained by the National Lawyers Guild Military Law Task Force and working under the guidance of Oklahoma attorney James M. Branum, a member of NLG who specializes in military law.
