DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1FM presents\n\nMEDEA BENJAMIN\nDrone Warfare: Killing by 
 Remote Control\nHosted by Laura Prives\n\nThe wily, nationally recognized 
 progressive activist Medea Benjamin, cofounder of CODEPINK and Global 
 Exchange, has been accurately described by New York Newsday as “one of 
 America’s most committed – and most effective – fighters for human 
 rights. The Los Angeles Times describes her as “one of the high profile 
 leaders of the peace movement.” She was one of 1000 exemplary women from 
 140 countries nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of 
 millions of women who do the essential work of peace worldwide. In 2010 
 Medea received the Martin Luther King, Jr Peace Prize from the Fellowship 
 of Reconciliation.  In 2000, she was a Green Party candidate for the 
 California Senate. \n\nSince the 9/11 tragedy, she has been working to stop 
 the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to promote a U.S. foreign policy 
 respectful of human rights. Her work for justice in Israel/Palestine 
 includes taking numerous delegations to Gaza after the 2008 Israeli 
 invasion, organizing the Gaza Freedom March in 2010, participating in 
 Freedom Flotillas, and opposing the policies of AIPAC. In 2011 she was in 
 Tahrir Square during the Egyptian uprising, and in 2012 she was part of a 
 human rights delegation to Bahrain in support of democracy activists when 
 she was tear-gassed, arrested, and deported by the Bahraini government.  
 \n\n“Activist extraordinaire Medea Benjamin has documented how the U.S. 
 government’s use of drones to murder hundreds of innocent victims in 
 Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen has increased the danger to our 
 national security.  Benjamin’s Drone Warfare is the first book that 
 reveals the vocal international citizen that challenges the legality and 
 morality of America’s extrajudicial execution drones before they begin 
 killing here at home.”\n—Ann Wright, U.S. Army colonel (retired) and 
 former deputy chief of mission for\n    U.S. embassies in Afghanistan, 
 Uzbekistan and elsewhere.\n\n“In this remarkably cogent and carefully 
 researched book, Medea Benjamin makes it clear that drones are not just 
 another high-tech military trinket.  Drone Warfare sketches out the 
 nightmare possibilities posed by this insane proliferation.” \n— 
 Barbara Ehrenreich (author of Nickel and Dimed)\n\nFormerly an economist 
 and nutritionist with the United Nations and the World \nHealth 
 Organization, Benjamin is the author/editor of eight books. Her articles 
 appear in outlets such as The Washington Post, The San Francisco Chronicle, 
 Huffington Post, CommonDreams, Alternet, and OpEd News. She has been an 
 effective social activist for 35 years.\n\n$12 advance tickets: t:
