CODEPINK WOMEN’S RETREAT & DRONE RESISTANCE WEEK
Sat. Oct. 24-Sun. Nov. 1
(Please note: 1st week, Oct. 20-23, "mass mobilization" cancelled.)
Bay Area CODEPINK has been returning annually to Creech AFB in Nevada since 2009 to resist drone murders. Creech is the most important center for the United States' illegal and brutal targeted killing operations by drones, and it is where hundreds of children and thousands of others from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Libya, Iraq and elsewhere have been murdered remotely under the top command of the CIA. Please join us in creating a peaceful force opposing militarism and barbaric drone killing & surveillance.
