CODEPINK Protests ‘Killer Drones’ at Senate Office Building
From: Bill Hughes
On Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 20, 2013, activists from CODEPINK, a Peace & Justice organization, staged a demonstration in the Atrium of the U.S. Senate Hart Office Building in Washington, D.C. In its press release, CODEPINK said it organized the action to show the growing grass roots opposition to the use of “killer drones and doubts about John Brennan.” Brennan is currently under consideration by the Congress for the post of CIA Director. Speaking on camera is Medea Benjamin, cofounder of CODEPINK. There were no arrests at this site.
