Covering Ground to Ground the Drones walk and speaking tour
June 8-23, 2013 Join us in this walk to protest drone warfare. We’ll be
walking for about 2 weeks and 195 miles from the Rock Island Arsenal (where
launch mechanisms and bomb components are manufactured) to the Iowa Air
National Guard’s 132nd Fighter Wing in Des Moines, the proposed site of a new
command center where drones can be remotely-piloted to fly over other
countries.
Tentative schedule: June 8-9 Events in Quad Cities June 10
Walk kicks off from Rock Island, IL June 11 Muscatine, IA June
12-13 West Liberty/Downey/West Branch, IA June 14 Iowa City
June 15 Coralville, IA June 16-18
Oxford/Amana/Marengo/Ladora/Victor/Brooklyn, IA June 19 Grinnell, IA
June 20-21 Kellogg/Newton/Colfax, IA June 22-23 Des Moines We’ll
need help in locating venues for speaking events along the route. We want to
reach members of the public who might like to hear from Voices co-coordinator
and activist Brian Terrell, of Maloy, IA, who will have just completed 6 months
in prison for nonviolent civil resistance at a drone base, and from Kathy
Kelly, who will have just returned from Afghanistan, where U.S. drones have
tragically impacted so many lives. We will also need
help finding places to sleep along the route, including churches, private
homes, or, for many of those walking, designated campsites, where available.
Please let us know if you would like to join in for any segment of the walk or
assist the walk in any way as we all strive to galvanize public opinion against
drone warfare. We welcome your emails and calls!
