1-2:30pm: CODEPINK Workshop at Veterans for Peace Conference
We’ll get an update about how killer drones are being used worldwide, the global movement to ground them, and then look here at home. While there’s been much discussion about the dangers of drones being used in the US, only about 10 cities have passed resolutions to regulate their use. Let’s build the momentum and get 100 passed by the end of 2014! Learn how you can get a resolution passed in your community now.
