More at: Can we stop the DRONES?
On Thursday, May 17, we made the drone killing 100% VISIBLE in Chicago.
People from World Can't Wait, Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, and other groups went out onto the streets and showed the faces of the victims to anyone willing to look.
There was a lot of noise in Chicago last week. But one message we managed to get through -- at least to some people -- was that people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and many other places are being injured and killed in their names ... and that if that bothers their consciences they can get active and do something about it.
As one report stated:
Some in the lunchtime crowd were listening. “Let’s just say, this morning I wasn’t thinking about drones, and children dying. So it definitely opened my eyes,” one young woman said as she sat in a plaza along Michigan Avenue.
I'm grateful to Kevin Gosztola for these videos of the reading of drone victims names and display of victim images at the protest:
