April Days of Action Against Drones: Occupy Beale Air Force Base, April 29-30


NON-VIOLENT DIRECT ACTION TO GROUND THE DRONES!

Last October, 60 activists from Northern California gathered to take a strong stance against the brutality of Obama's secret drone wars and U.S. global warring.  After blocking the main gate of Beale AFB for 5 hours, nine activists were arrested. 
Blocking the entrance for peace:   Beale AFB, October  2012
 This month we will gather again in defiance of U.S. militarism that causes so much suffering and pollution around the planet.  This will be our second direct action against drones at Beale AFB, after 2 and 1/2 years of continuous monthly vigils.  Won't you join us?  If not now, when?  Bring friends and family!
