#GROUNDTHEF35 Press Conference

For Immediate Release

October 18, 2022

Media Contact: Melissa Garriga | [email protected] | 228-990-6148

INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO END THE F-35 FIGHTER JET PROGRAM HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE TO PROVIDE CAMPAIGN DETAILS AND TESTIMONIALS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD

PRESS BRIEFING WILL INCLUDE COALITION MEMBERS FROM CANADA, GERMANY, THE UNITED KINGDOM AS WELL AS VERMONT BUSINESSMAN AND BEN & JERRY’S COFOUNDER BEN COHEN

ONLINE —The United States Department of Defense has a large platform with unlimited agency in the media. This Thursday we invite members of the media to give a platform and agency to those who are most affected by the decisions made by the Department of Defense. In this case, that decision is the continuation of the financially irresponsible, environmentally destructive, and inhumane F-35 fighter jet program. 

An international coalition consisting of over 220 organizations sent a letter to President Biden and members of Congress demanding an end to the “boondoggle” program. This Thursday, you can hear their stories and learn why grounding the F-35 is a large international campaign. 

What: Ground the F-35 International Coalition online press conference 

Who:  Danaka Katovich, CODEPINK (overview); Tamara Lorincz, World Beyond War (Canada); Ben Cohen, cofounder Ben & Jerry’s (Vermont); Ruth Rohde Arms Information Center (Germany); Vicki Berenson (Madison, WI); Andrew Feinstein (Israel/Palestine); Kawthar Abdullah, Yemeni Alliance Committee (Yemeni perspective) 

When: Thursday, October 20, 2022, 9:30am ET

Where: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0HA8zKJ7TpCMkOJ5e1aN5w
