Description

CREECH AIR FORCE BASE

Indian Springs, Nevada

This is the Second National Mobilization of nonviolent resistance to shut down Killer Drone operations in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and EVERYWHERE. Last year about 150 civilians came to Shut Down Creech from 20 different states across the country, including over 50 US military veterans. Last year our nonviolent, peaceful blockade of Creech led to conversations with soldiers and the arrests of 34 civilians. Please join us, and spread the word. Together we are PEACE!

We also look forward to reports from a panel discussion sponsored by Veterans for Peace and Knowdrones.com today, Wednesday March 30, and will post video of the event when it becomes available:
