Predator - a Play by Jack Gilroy
Join us for a wonderful staged reading of a play by Jack Gilroy about weaponized drones. Four women characters - a Senator, peace activist, drone pilot
and college student - explore the use of weaponized drones from their different perspectives. After the reading the actors - still in character - will dialog with the audience.
The reading is FREE.
The playwright is a long-time peace activist and drone resister from Binghamton.

Spring Rising; An Anti-War Intervention in Washington DC
“Spring Rising” is four days of creative resistance; theater, teach-ins; rallies and marches marking the anniversary of the United States’ "shock and awe" attack on Iraq and its invasion and occupation in a completely illegitimate, immoral war. Together we will use this time to oppose the plans and calls for growing military intervention.

Drones and the Gaza Goldfish Bowl
In their coverage of this summer’s Israeli invasion of Gaza, the New York Times and many other mainstream media would have us believe that that bully, Gaza, is hitting poor Israel below the belt. Their narrative ignores key realities:
• Israel, a colonial settler state much like former apartheid South Africa, is the nuclear-armed regional superpower. It has one of the world’s mightiest militaries, thanks in part to three billion dollars in US military aid it receives annually.
