Carol Baum, of the Syracuse Peace Council and Upstate Coalition To Ground The Drones & End The Wars, speaks at the introduction of the event, "Connecting The Dots: Poverty, Racism & Drones," at the Tucker Missionary Baptist Church on April 27, 2014.  The event was a prelude to Dr. Cornel West's presentation of the same day on that date and in that location.  

Following the lectures, a protest march and rally was held outside the Hancock Air Force Base (a known command module of lethally-armed UAVs, or drones, used to kill mostly innocent civilians in Pakistan and Yemen, among other target sites) in DeWitt, NY.  The theme was on the "Order Of Protection, a legal ruling normally reserved for victims of domestic violence and stalking, which is being unfairly used against anti-drone activists by the base commander, who was neither stalked nor antagonized during past protests (which have led to arrests and convictions).
