Drones in Our Community? Why We Must Say "No!"
Mark Colville, 53, is a member of the Amistad Catholic Worker house of hospitality in New Haven, Connecticut, where he lives with his wife, Luz Catarineau, four children, and a community of friends. Mark is a longtime nonviolent activist and organizer who has collaborated with the Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars for several years. He is currently awaiting sentencing for an act of civil resistance in which he attempted to deliver flowers and a People's Order of Protection for the People of Afghanistan to the commander of the 174th Attack Wing at Hancock Airbase in Syracuse. (His sentencing hearing is Dec. 3 and he faces 2 years and 45 days.)
The Niagara Falls Air Base began its new mission on April 1, 2014. Soon they will be assassinating, maiming, and terrorizing innocent people around the world. The military claims they will be doing the same thing as their counterparts at the Hancock base. We say, "No they won't. We don't need assassin jobs in WNY."
