Tues May 28, 3:45- 4:45 pm — Monthly VIGIL AGAINST THE DRONES OUTSIDE THE GATES OF VOLK FIELD. Please join us for this vigil. We must keep vigilant and continue to speak out against killer drones. Our first vigil against drone warfare was at Volk Field on December 1, 2011, and so we are starting our 13th year of vigiling. The vigil at Volk Field is a legal vigil where we will be on public property. As always, it will be a solemn vigil, remembering the victims of US government drone attacks.  We hope to see you at the vigil. If you can’t come this time, mark your calendar. We usually vigil on the 4th Tuesday of every month. If you have any questions about the weather or commute directions  please call or email Joy at 608 239-4327 or joyfirst5@gmail.com  or Bonnie at 608-256-5088 or blb24@earthlink.net  Wisconsin Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars
