ONLINE: What's all the Noise? War Zones Coming to Our Communities
press release: We will be showing two short documentaries: "Jetline: Voices from the Flight Path," and
"When the Jets Fly: New Warplanes Turn US Towns Into Sonic Hellscapes"
Residents of Whidbey Island on the west coast & Burlington, Vermont on the east coast are being traumatized by US fighter jets. Madison, Wisconsin could be next.
Learn what people are doing to resist the militarization of our communities.
We will follow the online showing of these films with a discussion led by these distinguished leaders:
Retired Air Force Colonel Rosanne Greco spent 30 years in active service specializing in strategic intelligence, nuclear weapons and arms control. Former chair of the South Burlington City Council and an active Unitarian Universalist, Greco has been fighting the basing of F-35s in Vermont for ten years.
Omar Poler lives in the Eken Park neighborhood of Madison and has been organizing with his neighbors to stop the F-35 “beddown” and protect water from PFAS contamination. He is a member of Eken Park Resistance and likes to be outside with his wife, Twyla, and two young children.
Terra Huey is the social media coordinator for the Sound Defense Alliance, a coalition of groups throughout Northwest Washington and the Salish Sea representing thousands of Washingtonians.
