Medea Benjamin's keynote address at the Peace House 30th anniversary celebration
Allen Hallmark, 22-10-2012 - 15:23
An abridged introduction from author Allen Hallmark follows...
Today I decided to share an article about Medea Benjamin's speech last Friday evening (Nov. 19, 2012). I believe that what she had to say about Pakistan and drone warfare is important enough to ask you to consider reading this longish article, which I composed this morning from my notes. Thanks.
Medea Benjamin is one of the co-founders of CodePink and Global Exchange and has been a powerful advocate for peace and economic and social justice for the past 30 years. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize along with other women in 2005 and was the 2010 recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize.
Medea is just back from Pakistan where she was a leader of a delegation of peace and justice advocates who went there to show Pakistanis that there are many Americans who want the U.S. to stop killing Pakistani civilians with drone attacks. She received the Marjorie Kellogg National Peacemaker Award at the Peace House 30th Anniversary Dinner at Southern Oregon University on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2012. Ms. Benjamin’s most recent book, Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control, was published earlier this year and informed the speech she gave at the Peace House dinner. Keep reading to see my summary of her speech...
