Hello all --

From October 13-15 will be three days of workshops and a direct 
action in Salina, Kansas, focusing on nonviolent peacebuilding, 
militarization and the tragic use of DU weapons. The direct action 
itself will take place at the Salina bombing range where there will 
be an Air Force "bombing and strafing" competition of A-10 
Thunderbolts, commonly called Warthogs, which have been deployed in 
U.S. military combat and training actions to fire 30 mm depleted 
uranium shells via Gatling style machine guns..

The three-day event is called "The Heartland Speaks," sponsored by 
several peace groups, according to two organizers, Janie Stein and 
Martin Bates, activists in Salina. For more information you may 
contact them at hopenow1@... and martinbikes@... and visit 
http://www.salinapeace.org/ -- More information on the workshops and 
direct action is below.
