UJP to march in
HONK! Parade with Drone replica.
When: Sunday, October
12, 2014, 12:00 pm to 6:30 pm
Where:
Davis Square •
Elm Street • Somerville
The
Somerville-based HONK! Parade of Activist Street Bands will take place
on Sunday, October 12 at noon, and once again UJP's Eastern Massachusetts
Anti-Drones Network (EMAD) will march carrying signs and its eye-catching Drone
replica. The group's message is encapsulated in the banner it will carry: "No
Killer Drones! No Spy Drones!" The U.S. Government must stop surveilling its
citizens and killing people from other countries with drones.
The HONK! Parade
is the culmination of the annual weekend-long HONK! Festival. Dozens of bands,
community, artist and activist groups, including Veterans For Peace, will march
from Davis Square down Elm Street, Beech Street and Massachusetts Avenue to
Harvard Square, where they'll join forces with the Octoberfest celebration.
Thousands of people view the parade, and last year, EMAD's Drone replica and
anti-drones message were well-received. This year, EMAD's participation
coincides with the first Global Action Day Against the Use of Drones for
Surveillance & Killing, called by the KnowDrones.com network.
We welcome
marchers to join our contingent. Join us at the Parade gathering place in Davis
Square at 11:30 am.
