"Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space’s statewide #antiwar coalition will bring its monthly protest series to Freeport in December.

"They will walk a few blocks on each side of Main St in Freeport handing out flyers while holding signs and banners.

"News of atrocities in northern Gaza continue to horrify the world as well as airstrikes in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen with many innocent victims.

"Israel could not conduct their genocide in Gaza without U.S. support -- including weapons made in Maine. Join us to raise your voice to say: no more money for Israel's crimes.

"Bring your own signs and banners, or use those provided."

"Our statewide antiwar coalition will bring its monthly protest series back to Farmington in November.

"Student organizers from #UMF will join us and I'm sure we'll get an update on their ongoing efforts to pressure the #UMaine system to #divest from #Israel.

"News of atrocities in #NorthernGaza continue to horrify the world as well as airstrikes in #Lebanon, #Syria, and #Yemen with many innocent victims.

"The U.S. response? Tell reporters that Israel has the 'right' to target #civilians meanwhile sending the #THAAD missile 'defense' system and U.S. troops to operate it!

"Bring your own signs and banners, or use ours. Join us for a late lunch afterwards.

TALKING POINTS (via #NoToxicRocketsForMaine)

- All rocket launches cause harm to our #Climate no matter what they claim and no matter what kind of fuel they use. #ClimateCrisis is hastened by rocket launches, and this is a rapidly growing concern. #AluminumOxide produced when launches fail and burn up re-entering Earth's airspace cause significant damage to the #OzoneLayer.

- Environmental toxins such as #PFAS from fire-suppression systems at rocket launch sites pose a deadly threat to our water and soil. Aluminum fallout from rockets and payloads that fail falls to Earth, along with other chemicals from the incineration of plastics and other components of rockets.

- All rocket launch sites previously built on the promise that there would be no military use failed to keep that promise. In Kodiak, Alaska their "civilian-use only" site has both the Pentagon and Israel's military using it for rocket launches of weapons and surveillance systems.

- #Birds in particular are harmed by rocket launches, often with mass death events following a launch. Jonesport's commercial fishing community imposed a moratorium on rocket launch sites due to concerns about disruption to their livelihood.

- Publicly supported development of facilities intended for private profit is a bad deal for #taxpayers. Why socialize research and development costs while privatizing the eventual profits?
