2020 BFP Activity Summary

  • by V Nunn

Overview

We sponsor, co-sponsor and endorse actions that are needed to try to establish a more just society (stopping the war at home, abroad, and on the planet). Among them were marches, walks, and rallies against sequester cuts, military spending/waste, lack of gun control, drone use, drone weapons development, government spying, reducing social security benefits, nuclear weapons, and encouraging divestiture from companies selling West Bank products. This year because of the Covid 19 pandemic we have had to limit our activities to virtual online events with some in-person right before the quarantine.
