GRATITUDE: April Days - A Nationwide Antiwar Campaign of Unprecedented Scope

All of the groups that came together to form the NSDSW (Network to Stop Drone Surveillance and Warfare) and issued the original call for April Days of Action Against Drones are extremely grateful to everyone across the country who contributed to a nationwide antiwar campaign that is unprecedented in scope in recent years.

SAN DIEGO: Not your grandmother's antiwar movement! (See more April Days highlights.)
NSDSW leaders will meet on Wednesday, May 29th at the American Friends Service Committee in Philadelphia to review the April Days experience in detail, and begin to formulate plans for next steps. Of particular importance to us is to hear in more detail about your April Days experience, to learn what worked and what didn't, and especially to form a commitment to giving even more effective leadership and support to future campaigns. (Feedback can be directed to Nick Mottern: nickmottern@earthlink.net .)

We will follow up concretely as soon as possible after our meeting, but under no circumstances later than June 15. Until then, please continue your amazing work!

Warm regards, and in solidarity,
