DESCRIPTION:Please SIGN UP Here:  https://www.codepink.org/05092021\n\nNoon-1:00 pm:   
 Peace Rally in the “Welcome Center” Plaza, on S.F. side, demanding a 
 radical shift in U.S. Foreign Policy and an End to Endless Wars and U.S. 
 Drone Attacks under the new Biden Administration. To include a reading of 
 the Civil War era (1870) Mother’s Day Proclamation by Julia Ward 
 Howe.\n\n1:00-2:00 pm:  (Optional). Peace Walk to the middle of bridge and 
 back to S.F. side.\n\nNever Been Done Before (by us):  We want to fill up 
 the plaza area with many peace banners and signs….to make a huge showing 
 for peace.  We need lots of hands!  Please bring friends. \n\nUPDATE:  
 Drone Whistleblower, Daniel Hale, was unexpectedly arrested on April 28, 
 before his scheduled July 13 sentencing hearing, and placed in solitary 
 confinement. One key rallying cry will be:  "Prosecute the War Criminals, 
 NOT Whistleblowers!" and "Free Daniel Hale!"\n\n We already have lots of 
 visuals, signs, and very large banners, including:\n	-DEFUND THE PENTAGON\n 
        -DEMILITARIZE! \n        -DIPLOMACY NOT DRONES  \n        -END 
 ENDLESS WARS                                                                
              \n        -FREE DANIEL HALE\n        -PROSECUTE WAR CRIMINALS, 
 Not WHISTLEBLOWERS!\n\n	And, of course, our “classic” Mother’s Day 
 Banner:\n"We will not raise our children to kill the children of other 
 mothers."\n\nOther signs we need volunteers to make, please:\n\nBIDEN:  We 
 want REAL PEACE!\n\nBIDEN:  NO ENDLESS DRONE WARS!   \n\nBIDEN:  We Expect 
 More.  NO WAR!	\n  \nBring your own signs and banners too!\nLet’s have 
 the largest CODEPINK Mother’s Day Bridge gathering ever!\n	\nBring your 
 children, your grandchildren, your mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, 
 neighbors and friends.\nLET’S BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE IN THE 
 WORLD.\n\nCODEPINK’S Mother’s Day Demands:\n- We call on President 
 Biden to END ENDLESS WARS: To stop drumming up support for War with China, 
 Russia, and Iran; to withdraw not just troops but all special forces, 
 advisors, and military contractors from Afghanistan; and to end killer 
 drone strikes in Afghanistan and elsewhere around he world. \n\n- We call 
 on Biden to prosecute the real war criminals responsible for U.S. drone 
 massacres that have murdered thousands of civilians.  (To this day not a 
 single person has been prosecuted for the innumerable drone attacks on 
 weddings, funerals, schools, mosques, and other group gatherings, resulting 
 in high civilian deaths).\n\n- We call on Biden to stop persecuting 
 whistleblowers exposing war crimes: To release and dismiss charges against 
 Drone Whistleblower Daniel Hale (unexpectedly arrested on April 28 in 
 advance of his sentencing hearing on July 13) and to stop persecuting 
 whistleblowers and truth tellers like Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange. 
 The attack on whistleblowers and journalists is an attack on Freedom of the 
 Press, thus, an attack on our right to know important truths and failings 
 of our own government.\n\nIn the spirit of the history of Mother’s Day 
 and the “Mothers Day Proclamation,” written by Julia Ward Howe in 
 response to the bloody carnage of the Civil War,…..CODEPINK will gather, 
 calling on all our sisters and brothers around the world to work toward the 
 abolition of war.  \n\n\n
