Stop the Slaughter!
Pray and Protest at Offutt Air Force Base, December 26 & 27
To commemorate “Holy Innocents Day,” when many Christians remember the children of Bethlehem slaughtered by King Herod who perceived the birth of Jesus as a security threat, there will be a nonviolent and prayerful witness at Offutt Air Force Base at Belleville, near Omaha, Nebraska.
Offutt is home to the U.S. Strategic Command’s Command and Control Facility, the bunker from which the destruction of the planet might be orchestrated. The Command and Control Facility is responsible to “aid the president’s nuclear response decision-making process, and, if called upon, deliver a decisive response in all domains.”
From the time of Herod to our own time of Trump, Biden, Putin, Zalenski and Netanyahu, the innocents are slaughtered in the interest of national security. Modern instruments of war and the threat of “a decisive response in all domains” puts every child on earth under Herod’s sword.
We will gather at St John’s Church Hall on the Creighton University campus, 2500 California Plaza in Omaha, at 6 PM, Friday, December 26. We will share a meal and there will be sleeping space on the floor. At 8AM on Saturday, December 27, we will celebrate Mass of the day in the hall and expect to arrive at Offutt’s Kenny Gate, 902 Nelson Drive, around 10AM.
As we celebrate the nativity of the Christ Child in this most perilous of years, we pause to mourn the slaughter of children that accompanied His birth. We will stand at the gates of the greatest threat to life on the planet in solidarity with all refugees and victims of war and to beseech all those at Offutt Air Force Base whose job it is to “aid the president’s nuclear response decision-making process” to act in defense of all creation.
