From the organizers announcement: Die-in to Protest Killer and Spy Drones When: Saturday, November 16, 2013, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm Where: Park Street Station • Park and Tremont • Boston The Saturday vigil on November 16 will be devoted to protesting US drone warfare abroad and drone surveillance in this country. Come to Park St Station at 1:00 to raise your voice to stop the killer robots flying over Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere. We'll have a drone replica and show the trauma inflicted by drones with a die-in. This is part of November Days of Action against Drone Killings, a national event which includes a drone summit in Washington. Sponsored by the Committee for Peace and Human Rights and the Eastern Massachusetts Anti-Drones Network. To join the Network, contact Marilyn Levin, MarilynL (at) alumni.neu.edu. Its next meeting is at the AFSC building, 2161 Mass Ave, Camb on Dec 10 @ 7:45. The protest was joined by anti-corporate media protesters at one point, who had their own protest today.

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
