SHUT DOWN CREECH: Marking 13 Years!
Spring Action: March 26 – April 2
(Saturday to Saturday)
Fall Action, 2021
National Mobilization to Nonviolently Resist Killer Drones
Co-sponsored by CODEPINK & Veterans For Peace
An all outdoor event with Covid-Safe precautions!
Our Spring Action is once again dedicated to The Ahmadi Family, who lost 10 family members, in a reckless U.S. drone attack, August 29, 2021 in Kabul. Broken Promises: Though the Pentagon promised condolence payments and relocation to the U.S., neither has materialized.
STOLEN LIVES: The Ahmadi Children killed by a U.S. drone strike in their Kabul home.
HEARTBREAKING: Recently released drone surveillance footage of Ahmadi family attack shows how the U.S. violates human rights and hunts human beings indiscriminately.
NEW: Our peace convergence starts on SATURDAY, giving us a full day, Sunday, to better prepare for the week and build our community before our M-F actions begin at Creech Killer Drone Base, Home of the Hunters.
COVID CONCERNS: Shut Down Creech will be an outdoor event only, with sufficient precautions to minimize health risks for all. For details please read our Covid-safe Guidelines. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated people are welcome, as Shut Down Creech recognizes the individual’s right to make mindful health decisions for themselves. We’ve held 3 weeklong SDC events during the pandemic and no one has gotten sick!
Never been to Shut Down Creech? Please watch this 5 min. video by Denise Hingle, highlighting some of the amazing work we’ve done over 13 years.
