AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

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

Support Veterans For Peace As They Try To Shut Down The Killer Drone Base -March 27-April 2



	VFP National invites you to come to the 2nd annual Shut Down Creech, on March 27-April 2, 2016 at Creech Air Force Base, Indian Springs, to demand the end of killer drone operations. Last year, nearly 150 activists joined us from 20 different states across the country, including over 50 veterans. We know that under President Obama, the drone wars have continued to escalate, and this election year, we must take an even bigger stand against these killing machines. We must educate the public so they understand the fallacy that these machines keep us 'safer'. We know that drones create more terrorists, through killing innocent civilians and terrorizing entire communities. REGISTER NOW! We will hold vigils daily Monday-Friday March 28th to April 1st , during rush hour commute:6:00-8:00 am and 3:00 - 5:00 pm. Each day has a variety activities, teach-ins, and workshops planned. View the program schedule here. As part of Shut Down Creech, there will be a symposium on Drone Warfare on Wednesday night, Inside Drone Warfare: Perspectives of Whistleblowers, Families of Drone Victims and Their Lawyers. This event will be held at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and will be open to the public. VFP members will attempt to deliver a letter to drone operators and base personnel, informing them of their options and welcoming them to our community of veterans and allies who are opposed to endless war. VFP supporters, please reach out to Casey @ casey@veteransforpeace.org if you have questions. Can you be there? Register!
