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
Larry Hamm, chairman of People’s Organization for Progress, Haliema Twam from PACC and Michael Kramer from VFP North Jersey will be among our speakers.
(December 28th is also the Feast of the Holy Innocents a day that Christians observe the massacre of children by Herod. These children are often considered the first martyrs of the Church.)
