Black Friday at the Capitol: No F-35s!

November 29, noon-1:30 pm
Capitol Rotunda*

Music and speakers from 12-1:00. march at 1:00

We will make a pre-winter statement about the proposed deployment of F-35 fighter jets at Truax Field adjacent to viable, beautiful, thriving neighborhoods. This catastrophic proposal would cause negative health, economic, and environmental outcomes to one quarter of the City. This callous disregard of the populace must be stopped. We are notifying our elected officials, the Air Force and Defense Department that this will not be tolerated. This Black Friday demonstration will continue and escalate the Safe Skies Clean Water Coalition active resistance.

Music by Chris Waggoner and Mary Gaines, Peter & Lou Berryman (No F-35 song), and the Solidarity Singers (singalong).

Speakers: Ald. Rebecca Kemble, Brian Benford, Brandi Grayson and representatives from Solidarity Realty and Safe Skies Clean Water Coalition.
