The Peace & Justice Center is organizing a caravan to upstate NY to see Dr. Cornel West speak and join a march/rally at Hancock Air National Guard. Dr. Cornel West’s talk will begin at 2pm and is titled “Connecting the Dots: Poverty, Racism and Drones”. Following the talk will be an action at Hancock titled “The Peoples Order of Protection Against Drone Terror”.

Hancock Air Base houses the 174th fighter wing of the Air Force. It currently houses Reaper Drones. Both the Predator and Shadow drone are listed as future additions to the military base. Note: In 2010, Dan Maffei requested $2.7 Million dollars for a Reaper Drone support hangar (from: http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/ED_2229.html).

For more information on this event and to join the caravan please contact me at kyle@pjcvt.org or 802-863-2345 x6. We already have two cars traveling up and there are several empty seats so if you have the time, energy and interest, we have the space!
