SHUT DOWN DRONE WARFARE, Spring Action 2026
The
full schedule for this year's spring action week at Holloman Killer Drone Training Base
is still in development. More details of the week's activities coming soon. Please note-these dates and times may change as our schedule evolves. Check back regularly!
NOTE: The most important part of our peacemaking are the commute hour vigils
where we work to change hearts and minds of Holloman personnel. If
you can't participate for more than a couple of days, best to come Mon.
thru Wed. afternoon in order to participate in the climactic nonviolent
peaceful resistance action tentatively planned Wed. early morning: NO DRONES FOR GENOCIDE or WAR! Ground all militarized drones now! (Risking arrest is optional)
- Twice Daily Themed Vigils, M-F, (6:30-8:30 am & 3:30-5:30 pm) during commute hrs. at Holloman AFB, to educate, foster GI resistance and help “connect
the dots” between militarism and climate destruction, environmental
degradation, nuclear threat of annihilation and more. "No To Genocide,
FREE PALESTINE," will be central in our messaging. We demand A CALL
TO CONSCIENCE. Hundreds of cars commute to the base daily: Help us
break the silence! Contact us if you have ideas for vigil themes? The schedule of our varying planned vigil themes will be posted soon.
NO WEAPONS OR MONEY FOR GENOCIDE or IMPERIALIST WARS!
Gaza and the West Bank will take center stage to show solidarity to the
people of Palestine who are enduring horrific violence at the hands of
the Israeli Apartheid State, assisted by the U.S. Drone Program. FREE PALESTINE NOW!
