Panel discussion on "Drones, Black Lives Matter, the European Refugee Crisis: What do they all have in Common?" in conjunction with the Arrival of the Undrone Upstate March in Rochester.
Founded in 2010, Upstate Drone Action also known as the Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars, is a decentralized, informally-organized grassroots organization, primarily composed of activists from upstate New York representing a diverse assortment of Peace and Justice organizations in different cities. We seek to educate the public and Hancock Air Base personnel about the war crimes perpetrated in Afghanistan with the MQ9 Reaper drone piloted from Hancock Air National Guard Base on the outskirts of Syracuse, and also the perversity of a society that prioritizes war over other solutions.
