Militarism Kills Conference & Action
We have 2 amazing keynote speakers plus some great folks on a panel discussion for Saturday.
Join us on 12/28 at the Sparta United Methodist Church (71 Sparta Ave, Sparta, NJ) as we discuss how our country’s addiction to military might is perpetuating the genocide in Gaza and keeping all of us from achieving our goals of peace and justice and then come for a vigil outside the gates of Picatinny Arsenal.

Bombs, tank shells, and bullets are developed at Picatinny Arsenal as part of its mission for “excellence in lethality”. Those weapons are killing family members of our neighbors and the billions of our tax $$ could be used to provide for our community’s needs. The development of weapons at Picatinny has also resulted in the pollution of the water and soil and the deployment of militaries and the detonation of these weapons is contributing significantly to the warming of our planet
9:30 am - 12:00 pm Sparta United Methodist Church
1:00 pm - meet at Rockaway Mall parking lot (near the Bank of America ATM) for carpool to vigil outside Picatinny back gate
Our speakers include
Larry Hamm, chairman of People's Organization for Progress
Sarah Leah Whitson - executive director DAWN which is currently suing to enforce the Leahy Law with regard to weapons shipments to Israel
