April Days of Action Against Drones at Volk Field

Activists from Veterans for Peace and other local organizations came out to Volk Field on Tuesday to demonstrate the facility's use for training and staging of Shadow drones. Part of the April Days of Action Against Drones, this demonstration was one in a tradition of monthly vigils in front of the air force base.

Veterans for Peace, a constant presence at anti-drone
 demonstrations around the country.

"WAR=DEBT" encapsulates the tradeoff
 implicit in channeling billions in taxpayer
 money to support a perpetual "war
on terror."

Shows the fundamental illegality of extrajudicial killing of
 civilians, regardless of the veneer of legitimacy lent it by
 the Obama administration.

A strong showing of activists braved the cold to make
 their voices heard at Volk Field!

April Days of Action Against Drones in MADISON: Saturday, April 20th

MOURNING AFTER DRONES:
MARCH and work on U.S. Drone Quilt Project
MADISON WISCONSIN

SATURDAY APRIL 20, 2013

11 AM MARCH from Library Mall to Capitol

Part of the The April Days of Action 2013, a coordinated, national campaign of the Network to Stop Drone Surveillance and Warfare to generate a public uprising to STOP U.S. DRONE WARFARE.

The stories of the victims of drone attacks are horrific
and the photographs are grisly.  Targeting individuals for death without trial
or even knowing who they are in many cases, is illegal, immoral and reprehensible.

The US Drones Quilt project is a work of collective art
 designed to remind us that often the victims of drone attacks
are people like us who are afraid, alone and innocent
