Time: 1:30pm-3:30pm
Place: 107th Airlift Wing New York Air National Guard Base in Niagara Falls, NY
Who: No Drones Niagara, Interfaith Peace Network of WNY, WNY Peace Center, and the Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars. M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, Syracuse Peace Council, Ithaca Catholic Worker.
Details: On Sunday, July 6th, anti-drone activists, scholars, and community members will unite on the east side of the NGAB to raise awareness about one man’s proposal to transform the military base into a fully functioning solar panel farm and factory. Participants will also express solidarity with the victims of drone warfare by flying kites. This event is family oriented, celebratory, musical, and educational. Taking a page from the Occupy playbook, we are going there to reclaim the space as potentially life serving rather than life destroying.
