Keep Space for Peace Week
International Days of Protest to Stop the Militarization of Space,
October 4-11, 2002
For the past two years the Global Network has organized an international day of protest in October to protest plans to move the arms race into space. Having seen the number of local actions double (115 actions in 19 countries) in 2001 over the previous year, the Global Network is calling for a week of events in 2002.
In addition to local protests at key space installations and US embassies, groups are urged to organize events throughout the week that would include things like visits to political leaders, community teach-ins, meetings of religious leaders, visits to local schools, media work, and public displays.
The dates of October 4-11 were chosen to coincide with the pro-space development "World Space Week" that annually promotes the aerospace industry agenda for space.
Help us build this vital global movement to stop the nuclearization and weaponization of space. Working together we can create a new consciousness about protecting space from the bad seed of war!
