Report Back From: Carol Baumof the Syracuse Peace Council and the Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars
Just wanted to let you know that today (May 21) we held a solidarity vigil to close the US Drone Base in Germany, Ramstein. We stood outside Hancock Air Base (in Syracuse), getting some (but not a lot of) media attention, but we did get a lot of car honks of support (but not from the cars coming out of the base).
If you haven’t planned one yet, please consider it – we need to stand in solidarity with the German activists trying to get Ramstein closed down. Please note – our translation of “Stop the Global Drone War” probably should have been Stoppt den US-Drohnen-Krieg via Ramstein (this is the slogan being used in Germany, but we found out about it too late). I’ve pasted our news release below, so you could adapt it to your own needs if you wanted to. Continue reading Hancock Solidarity Vigil to Close the US Drone Base in Germany, Ramstein→
