DESCRIPTION:Just two days into Donald Trump's Administration, the U.S. launched a 
 deadly drone strike in Yemen, killing at least 10 people. On Sunday, March 
 26, PASMC will present an opportunity for people to get an updated report 
 on the U.S. covert drone assassination program - a dark spot on former 
 President Obama's legacy that seems destined to expand under Trump. We will 
 also hear about the growing worldwide resistance to stop drone warfare, and 
 the national movement to oppose and interrupt business as usual at U.S. 
 drone bases.\n\nOur guest speaker will be Toby Blome, an organizer with the 
 Bay Area chapter of the national women-led peace organization CODEPINK. 
 Toby's presentation is entitled "Trump's Inheritance: U.S. Drone Warfare - 
 a Critical and Brutal Tool for U.S. Global Domination, and the Reasons We 
 Must Resist It". In addition to giving an overview of drone warfare, Toby 
 will also discuss the 3rd Annual national mobilization known as "Shut Down 
 Creech", a week-long resistance action at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada 
 this coming April 23-29. Creech is where the CIA uses the U.S. Air Force 
 to, as she puts it "spy on the world" and kill people at their will. 
 \n\nThe UUSM is wheelchair accessible. \n\nAs a CODEPINK activist, Toby 
 Blome's work has focused on resistance to U.S. global militarism and drone 
 killing, and since 2009 has included extended and ongoing protests at U.S. 
 drone military bases in California (at Beale AFB near Marysville) and 
 Nevada. In 2012 she participated in the CODEPINK Peace Delegation to 
 Pakistan, and met directly with family members of victims of drone warfare 
 to hear their tragic stories firsthand. Toby has been arrested repeatedly 
 at U.S. drone bases during nonviolent peaceful resistance, in an effort to, 
 as she says, "put my body where my heart is." \n\nOn March 26, be sure to 
 catch an informative presentation by this dedicated resister on a subject 
 ever more in need of attention and response.\n\nFree, contributions 
 welcome.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/02/21/18796703.php
