Resisting Fighter Jets At Home and Abroad

This week’s Spirit in Action has been adapted from a recording of a webinar on July 7 hosted by the Canadian No New Fighter Jets Coalition, who are working to stop the Canadian government from purchasing 88 new fighter jets. Rachel Small and Pitasanna Shanmugathas lead the event for the Coalition, with speakers including Yonatan Shapira, former IDF helicopter pilot and current peace activist; Vicki Berenson, an organizer with Safe Skies Clean Water Wisconsin who is working to prevent the basing of F-35s at Truax Air National Guard Base in Madison; and retired US Air Force Colonel Rosanne Greco and Dr. John Reuwer of World BEYOND War, who have been trying to prevent the deployment of Air National Guard F-35s in Burlington, Vermont.
