After gathering at NDE's home base in Las Vegas, we expect to begin our time together with a vigil for peace over the evening shift change, 3-5 pm on Friday, October 10, at Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs and finish it on Monday morning with nonviolent resistance at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) in Mercury. Creech is the center for U.S. global drone warfare by remote control. The NNSS, on land stolen from the Western Shoshone nation, was the primary testing location of American nuclear devices, most bombed place on earth, and is currently a key facility in the production of new generations of nuclear bombs.

We will be celebrating the desert and learning of the threats to its people and its creatures. Meals and simple accommodations will be provided. We will have time to sing, share food and stories, attend a powwow, create art, participate in traditional sweat lodge, reflect, pray and to conspire for survival.
