SUMMARY:Peace Vigil at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base
DESCRIPTION:Peace Vigil at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base\, Craycroft Road entrance (details below)\nJune 23\, Tuesday\, 7:00-8:00 a.m. \nPlease note: Signs and banners will be provided\, or you can bring your own.\nSo that our messaging is clear and consistent to passersby (especially drivers who have just a couple of seconds to read a few of our signs)\, we ask that the message on any signs you bring affirms the purpose and focus of our peace vigils noted below.\nThank you. \n \nThe peace vigils are a regular\, nonviolent presence in our community\n* to call for an end to wars and occupations waged by our government in our name and with our tax dollars *\n* to take a stand against war profiteering *\n* to remember the victims of war (including those killed by drones) *\n* to join others around the world in working for peace * \n* Peace vigils at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base\, Craycroft Road entrance (at Golf Links Road) \nWhy protest at Davis-Monthan AFB? \nDRONES:\nAir National Guard troops at Davis-Monthan AFB place Tucson squarely on the global battleground\, by remotely piloting UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) that are firing guided bombs and missiles and killing more civilians than targeted “terrorists” in unnamed sovereign nations.  Ground the Drones! \nDEPLETED URANIUM:\nA-10 warplanes that train out of Davis-Monthan AFB are responsible for the vast majority of radioactive ammunition – estimated at well over 400 tons – used in Iraq in 1991 and 2003-2005.\nA recent analysis of targeting data reveals that the toxic ammo was used well beyond its armor-piercing design\, and was used again in Syria in military operations against ISIS in 2015.\nIraq is littered with high levels of nuclear and dioxin contamination\, including depleted uranium\, resulting in greater rates of cancer and birth defects near sites. See https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/jan/22/iraq-nuclear-contaminated-sites. \nPark at recreation field parking lot at N-W corner of Craycroft & Golf Links with access from Craycroft.  Signs provided\, or bring your own!  More info: 323-8697 or nukeresister@igc.org.
