At the October 3 “Keep Space For Peace” witness, Dennis Apel was again arrested for a “ban and bar” violation (Dennis has a lifetime ban and bar). It is obvious that enforcing the ban and bar is very arbitrary, as Dennis, and others, have been present at other events where no action was taken by the military. This is the third ban and bar violation he has received, but has yet to be prosecuted. Photos of the event are forthcoming.

We will gather at the front gate of Vandenberg Air Force Base at 1:00pm on Saturday, October 3rd, for a peaceful, nonviolent protest against Vandenberg’s role in using space for technology and satellites that support drone warfare and guided missiles, and in opposition to their 25-year history of testing delivery systems for nuclear weapons.

Contact Dennis Apel, (805) 343-6322 for info.
