The meeting was a full house as speakers denounced U.S. drone attacks, called for the repatriation of U.S. political prisoner, Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, to Pakistan and urged support for the May 1 Rally for immigrant rights.
The program speakers included Shahid Comrade and Attiq Siddiqui of the Pakistan USA Freedom Forum; Joe Lombardo of the United National Antiwar Coalition; Chris Silvera, president of Teamsters local 808; Michael Kramer of Veterans for Peace-Chapter 21; George Gurerci of the KnowDrones.org national network; and Sara Flounders of the International Action Center.
