Host Stephanie Potter speaks with Peter Lumsdaine who has worked for over 20 years with nonprofit programs addressing peace and international security, as well as global economic, ecological and cultural issues.
Peter Lumsdaine has conducted unauthorized investigations into advanced weapons and surveillance programs within the security zones of US Strategic Command facilities, and has also gathered information from inside the US prison system.
After serving as interim co-pastor at Boise's Hyde Park Mennonite Fellowship and conducting meetings at the 2009 Mennonite national convention, Lumsdaine organized the inter/national *Alliance to Resist Robotic Warfare & Society (ARROWS)*,* *the first organization of its kind, and initiated planning for the first civil society conference ever held on challenging robotic warfare.
The conference, /*Challenging Robotic Warfare and Social Control */will be held April 16th through 18th in Hood River, Oregon - followed by a nonviolent witness action on Monday April 19th at Boeing's rapidly expanding military drone facilities there in the Columbia Gorge.
Veterans for Peace Chapter 72 is bringing in Peter Lumsdaine to Portland on Monday April 19 at the Friends Meeting House at 43rd and SE Stark, 7-9PM. $5-10 donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.
