As light gives way to darkness, we stand with hope at the Advent Vigil for Disarmament at Bath Iron Works on the 4 Saturdays of Advent, December 2, 9, 16 and 23 from 11:30 to 12:30.
We gather in front of the Administration Building at Bath Iron Works on Washington Street in Bath and then walk down to leaflet the workers at the shift change. General Dynamics continues to build the nuclear capable Aegis guided missile Destroyers which launch precision guided missiles which kill indiscriminately. As we can all clearly see, the innocent suffer in these wars that continue raging in Ukraine and Gaza. The question, What about the children? must be answered. The time has come to open our eyes to the reality that the continued building of warships prevents us from using our resources to heal the many needs of our Mother Earth. This constitutes a Crime against Peace and fuels endless wars.
Let's Prepare for Peace this Advent as we recognize that all children are as precious, as vulnerable, as in need of mercy, as the child we await in Advent. Convert BIW to build something that promotes life through Disarmament Now! NO MORE WAR !! Smilin' Trees Disarmament Farm 763-4062
