Holloman 6 Anti-Drone Defendants Need Your Support!

 In April, 32 people gathered to participate in all or part of Shut Down Drone Warfare week, at Holloman AFB, in Southern New Mexico, where 700+  pilots and operators are trained every year to become remote drone assassins. The week of protest culminated on April 24, in a peaceful blockade to nonviolently interrupt the illegal and immoral US Drone Training Program.  Six people were arrested and charged with “blocking the road” to the two main commuter gates but the defendants’ intent was to block the criminal activities that occur at the base daily with impunity.

 The Otero County District Attorney has used the “divide and conquer” approach to prosecuting all six defendants. Defendant Denise Sellers from San Diego had her sentencing hearing on May 29th.  The other 5 defendants have trials or sentencing hearings in July and August.  THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT. If you can, please virtually “attend” at least some of these to support us.  Let the judge know the world is watching!  The more virtual court room supporters present, the more likely the judge will be fair and reasonable…it will make a difference!  

 Some of the defendants are pleading not guilty and face trials. Others are pleading No Contest and are facing a sentencing hearing.  Here are the details and the LINKS!  Just click on the appropriate link at the time of court hearing and you’re THERE!

NOTE:  TWO HEARINGS THIS COMING TUESDAY, JULY 9!
