DESCRIPTION:Stop the Reaper! End the Wars!\nA Report from Afghanistan and from 
 Resistance to the Drones\nThursday October 13th at 1pm (Bring a 
 lunch)\nAmerican Friends Service Committee, 65 9th Street, San 
 Francisco\nBART: Civic Center\n\nOver the past few years we have witnessed 
 the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles, the MQ-1 Predator and the 
 MQ-9 Reaper, to undertake armed attacks around the globe. Iraq, 
 Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia have all been subject to 
 drone strikes by US drones remote controlled from bases in the US, many 
 thousands of miles away.\n\nDrawing on his experiences in visiting 
 Afghanistan and nonviolent resistance to Predator and Reaper drone warfare 
 here in the U.S., Brian Terrell will speak to the urgency of an immediate 
 end to the "war on terror." He will address the social, economic and 
 security costs that U.S. aggression inflicts both on foreign battle fields 
 and on battle fields at home.\n\nBrian visited Afghanistan for three weeks 
 in Dec. 2010 with Voices for Creative Nonviolence and the Afghan Youth 
 Peace Volunteers. In Jan. 2011, Brian and 13 others were convicted of 
 trespass in a Las Vegas court for their protest at Creech Air Force Base, 
 from where unmanned robotic “drone" aerial raids on Afghanistan are 
 controlled. He is awaiting trial for resisting killer drones in April 2011 
 at Hancock AFB in New York.\n\nBrian lives and works at the Strangers and 
 Guests Catholic Worker Farm in Maloy, Iowa, and is a co-coordinator of 
 Voices for Creative Nonviolence. For more information contact Rosalie at
