Oct 7th National “Call to Action: A Day of Atonement” at places of worship around the nation @ 11am for an end to 20 years of U.S. terror against the people of Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. The newly formed US Ban Killer Drones network urges a ban on weaponized drones and an end to any “Over the Horizon” airstrikes against Afghanistan and any other country.
In a Sept 24, 2021 Ban Killer Drones network News Release, spokesperson Kathy Kelly from Voices from Creative Nonviolence said "we will gather at places of worship at 11am to call for a real end to the 20 years of U.S. terror against the people of Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. We urge a ban on weaponized drones and an end to any “Over the Horizon” airstrikes against Afghanistan and any other country. We will also call on our religious leaders to speak out clearly for peace, ending what has too often been a tragic, enabling silence from faith leaders over the 20 years."
The DMCW & DM VFP welcomes all to join them on the steps of St Ambrose Cathedral Thursday Oct 7th for an hour vigil starting @ 11 in solidarity with the national “Call to Action: A Day of Atonement” at places of worship.
In an earlier email to Bp William Joensen, Diocese of Des Moines DMCW & DM VFP reps Frank Cordaro and Ed Bloomer wrote "We ask you, we implore you, to vocally object to existing plans for more drone warfare. We urge you to call for an end of the Over the Horizon assassination plan of our United States government. We beg you to call for the closing of the IA Air Guard Drone Command Center in DM."
