Description

Toby Blome will give first hand accounts about life under daily drone surveillance in Waziristan, Pakistan, the civilians lost to hellfire missiles, the survivors stories, and the many ways everyday life throughout Pakistan has been seriously altered by the U.S. War on Terror. She will present information on how Obama's secret wars, using remotely controlled unmanned planes to carryout illegal targeted killing, have caused significant collateral damage and are ultimately counterproductive by inciting anti-American rage and animosity.

About the Lecturer: Toby Blome, organizer with the San Francisco chapter of CODEPINK, a women led peace and social justice organization.
