2004 Annual Conference of Global Network
On April 2325, 2004, the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space holds its12th Annual International Conference. Entitled "Resisting Empire: Understanding the Role of Space in U.S. Global Domination", the event will be held in Portland, Maine/USA. Maine is the home of Bath Ironworks (BIW) where the Aegis Destroyer is built. The Aegis is outfitted with interceptor missiles as part of the Theatre Missile Defense (TMD) system that will be "forward deployed" by the Pentagon in the Middle East and used to surround China, which will of course build more nuclear weapons in response. Representatives from peace groups worldwide will be in attendance to share their work to stop Star Wars. Included in the events will be a protest at BIW. This event is being cosponsored by Maine Veterans for Peace, Peace Action Maine, Pax Christi Maine, Maine WILPF, and Witness for Peace Maine.
