On Saturday, October 5th, which would have been Philip Berrigan's 101st birthday, please join a Vigil for Disarmament at Bath Iron Works from 11:30 till 12:30 as part of the International Week of Protest to Stop the Militarization of Space.
We will gather on Washington Street by the Administration building in Bath, Maine and walk up the street to leaflet the workers at noon.
General Dynamics is continuing to build Aegis guided missile Destroyers in the BIW shipyard with contracts into the 2030s.
We are in a permanent war economy, and war is madness. As we have seen in Gaza and other wars raging around the world, it is the children and other innocents who are the victims. The building of warships prevents us from using the Earth's resources to heal the many needs that are crying out to be addressed around the world.
Instead we need to work to create a disarmed world through love and nonviolence by using our resources to heal our beloved Mother Earth and to address the true causes of climate change. It is time to convert BIW so to build something that promotes life so this endless war economy will stop
preventing us from keeping Space for Peace.
Love is the measure.
