| US Navy destroyer arrives at new Navy base on Jeju Island, South Korea and is met by protests |
Please join us as we hold a light in the darkness at the Advent Vigil for Disarmament at Bath Iron Works.
We will gather across from the BIW Administration building on Washington Street in Bath from 11:30 am til 12:30 on the four Saturdays of Advent – December 2, 9, 16 and 23.
We stand with signs calling for the end of the building of weapons of mass destruction by General Dynamics here in Maine. We stand in opposition to the production of the Arleigh Burke class of Aegis Destroyers [outfitted with so-called ‘missile defense’ systems] and the new Zumwalt Destroyers which will cost over $3 billion each and are presently under construction in the BIW shipyard.
It is time to end the construction of these warships and to begin the transformation to a nonviolent society by using our resources to create life affirming alternatives to our present war based economy.
Please join us for an hour on these four Saturdays in December as we witness in hope for a nonviolent world through disarmament.
