"We are gathering at the Pentagon on November 17 because we fear for our lives. We fear for the life of this planet, our Earth, and the life of our children who are our human future..."
from the UNITY STATEMENT of the Women's Pentagon Action, 1980
As a new political era begins in the US, some 'veterans' of The Women's Pentagon Action then and others who have come of age in the shadow of 9/11 will gather to remember that action and 'surround' the Pentagon with statements and video messages from women activists on militarism and violence, and where we go from here in this new era of challenge.
The event is co-sponsored by the Traprock Center for Peace & Justice and the U Mass Amherst Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA). It will take place on Tuesday, November 15th, 2016, in the U Mass-Amherst W.E.B. DuBois Library, 26th floor, with postings following at our website, www.wloe.org
