> OCTOBER 7 ACTIONS TO STOP MILITARIZATION OF SPACE STILL GROWING
>
> The list of demonstration sites for the "International Day of Protest to
> Stop the Militarization of Space" is getting larger each day as we move
> closer to October 7.
>
> And there are still more events being organized at this moment!
>
> Actions are planned at key U.S. Space Command bases, U.S. spy satellite
> installations, aerospace industry corporations, federal buildings, U.S.
> Embassies & Consulates, and in parks and downtown centers around the world.
> In one city, an all day space video showing will be held on cable TV.
>
> When we begin to act together, people from different organizations -- people
> in different nations, we help create a shift in public thinking and global
> consciousness.
>
> There is much to be done to stop the nuclearization and weaponization of
> space. We have to keep learning, sharing information, teaching others,
> protesting and demanding that the global political system keep space for
> peace. There can be no half measures, no compromises on the issue of moving
> the arms race into the heavens. We must oppose all research, development,
> testing, and deployment of space-based weapons. We must support an
> international ban on weapons in space. The resources of the world cannot be
> squandered on Star Wars.
