Panelists:

South Korean peace activist from Jeju Island who has been working for the past
20 years to stop US base expansion in his country. He also works to protect the endangered
Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins who daily circle Jeju Island and are now
threatened by the new Navy base. Destroyers built at BIW have begun to port at
the new base.
Leslie Manning – Quaker activist will speak about budgets as moral
documents and the need to build political support for cutting the bloated
Pentagon budget.
Mary Beth Sullivan – Social worker from Bath will speak about how
conversion of BIW is possible and could create more jobs by building rail,
solar, wind and tidal power systems to help deal with climate
change.

Kennebec River.
