On Tuesday, September 10, 2024, Veterans for Peace and the Northwest Ohio Peace Coalition held a protest against U.S. support and complicity in the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza. We stopped entrance to the gate of the 180th Fighter Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard base near Swanton, Ohio. Some of us were prepared to get arrested, but the sheriffs showed unusual restraint. We will be back soon with similar protests in NW Ohio.
For background info on this protest, check out the letter to the base commander here, and the powerful legal brief on the illegality of U.S. actions in the genocide here.
