ANTI-WAR TRUTH DISPLAYS DURING DNC PHILA.
Dismantle the Empire
Starting with Killer Drones and Endless War

 July 25 – 28 – Anti-War ‘Truth Displays’ in Phila. during the DNC Democratic National Convention) Yes, indeed, there will be an Anti-War presence in Philadelphia each day during the DNC, featuring large killer drone replicas, masks and pictures with child victims of drone attacks, posters, and banners.The Anti-War Truth Display will be held from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. every day of the DNC (July 25, 26, 27, and 28) at the corner of Broad & Arch Streets, in front of Arch Street United Methodist Church.

Following the display each day, people are invited to hold vivid banners and signs, and to leaflet at transportation hubs (e.g. Septa entrance at 15th & Market Street, train station at 30th & Market), center city hotels (e.g. Bellevue at Broad & Walnut), and at other marches and protests. People at large, members of the Democrat/Republican war party, and the media have grown blind to the U.S. killing policy of endless war.

Remember that during the presidential debates there was not a mention of killer drone and the U.S. war policy.  It probably won’t be any different when democratic party members and delegate convene at the Wells Fargo fortress in South Philadelphia.

We will speak and we will be present in Philadelphia during the DNC

Our goal is to reach people during the DNC, people in town for the convention,  people in general,  people in town for all the various and important, with the fact that U.S. wars are blazing in no fewer than seven countries, including killer drones strikes from such drone war command centers as the one now operating at the Horsham Air Guard Station outside of Philadelphia.

Your participation for however long will assure there is an anti-war presence in Philadelphia during the DNC, and the victims of empire, endless war, and drone attacks are remembered by both parties, both of which are responsible for the killing.

The Anti-War Truth Displays are planned by Brandywine Peace Community, KnowDrones.org, World Can’t Wait, and the Philadelphia Area Anti-Drone Network. Endorsers include:  Catholic Peace Fellowship, Code Pink, Green Party of Philadelphia,  Green Party of Manhattan, NYC Raging Grannies, NY Granny Peace Brigade, Peace Center of Delaware County, Veterans for Peace Chapters 31 & 34, Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom.

If your group wishes to be a participatory endorser, please call the Brandywine Peace Community now.

In addition to the Anti-War Truth Display from July 25 – 28, we will also participate with drone replicas in marches and protests, including the March for A Clean Energy Revolution Peace & Environmental Contingent on Sunday, July 24, noon, from Phila. City Hall to Independence Mall (http://www.cleanenergymarch.org/ ), as well as the March for Our Lives beginning at 3 p.m. from the south side of Phila. City Hall and walking down Broad St. (http://economichumanrights.org/march-for-our-lives-at-the-democratic-national-convention-2 016/ )

The Democratic Party is seeking to have a festive event, with the city of Philadelphia paying upwards to $60 million for it. We are seeking to tell the truth about the miseries of empire and the injustice and criminality of war.
