A group of 15 peace activists on Saturday wrapped up a week-long nonviolent, socially-distanced protest at a Nevada Air Force base housing a command and control center for unmanned aerial drones.
For the 11th straight year, CodePink and Veterans for Peace led their twice-annual Shut Down Creech demonstration against killer drones at Creech Air Force Base to “oppose the remote-control killing” orchestrated from the military facility located 45 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
To stop drone warfare, CODEPINK blockaded Creech AFB this past week, which is the kind of thing #SaintFrancisDay is meant for,,, during #KeepSpace4Peace week. No arrests in Clark County at the drone base–so happy #FeastDay y’all! pic.twitter.com/lw6z5VBGcz

CodePink organizer Toby Blomé said the activists, who hail from California, Arizona, and Nevada, “were compelled to participate and take a strong and determined stance against the illegal and inhumane remote killing by U.S. drones that occurs daily” at Creech.
