2024-10-05 00:00 - 2024-10-12 23:30 UTC
Each October the Global Network organizes Keep Space for Peace Week and asks folks around the world to help us concentrate public attention during that time on the dangerous and aggressive moves the US-NATO are making to nuclearize, militarize and weaponize space.
We hope this October 5-12 you can find some way to help us in that goal to expand public consciousness about the absolute imperative to keep space for peace.
A growing list of planned events can be seen here, get in touch with details of any event you are organising.

SHUT DOWN DRONE WARFARE
2024-10-13 - 2024-10-19
NO DRONES OVER GAZA, STOP THE GENOCIDE, GROUND THE DRONES!
FALL WEEK OF RESISTANCE
October 13-19, 2024
U.S. Drones are flying over Gaza to assist Israel with their ongoing horrific genocide
Creech Killer Drone Base is the central command base for the illegal and immoral U.S. drone program. Just north of Las Vegas, US airmen fly Reaper drones over the desert of Nevada, practicing in remote warfare; Many hundreds of “drone workers” (airmen and civilians) commute daily from Las Vegas to sustain this insane program. We will hold daily vigils during commute hours to express zero tolerance to remote warfare and zero tolerance to genocide. Our hopes: to alter hearts and minds… Week will culminate in a day of peaceful resistance.
Please join us for a week of nonviolent resistance to militarized drones and genocide! Palestine will be front and center during our daily vigils…In honor of Aaron Bushnell let U.S. Air Force personnel know that we should NOT be complicit in genocide! Creech Killer Drone Base is the place to be to resist US complicity in genocide!
Come for part or all of the week. Limited travel stipends are available. Donations welcome.

Protest the Militarization of Space
2024-10-24 11:00 (America/New_York) | Holiday Inn By The Bay, 88 Spring St, Portland, Maine, United States
Concerned citizens to protest militarizing space at Maine Space Conference October 24
Mainers concerned about the environmental and security risks of building rocket launch sites on the Maine coast will be in Portland on Thursday, October 24 outside the Maine Space Conference from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Picketing outside the Holiday Inn by the Bay for the second consecutive year will bring attention to the risks and environmental harm of building rocket launch sites and other facilities for use by the U.S. Space Force, a branch of the Pentagon.
Bruce Gagnon coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space, explained why members of his organization will picket the conference:
“The Maine Space Conference is promoting the militarization of space. Efforts are being made to test hypersonic missiles at the former Loring Air Force Base. bluShit Aerospace is receiving funding from the U.S. Air Force and Space Force to launch ‘dual use’ (military/civilian) mini-satellites into dangerously congested Lower Earth Orbit.
Promises of lots of jobs, little to no environmental impacts, and peaceful exploration of space are the standard claims made at a myriad of potential sites the U.S. military is exploring around the world.
The U.S. and Israel have been blocking a space weapons ban treaty (PAROS) at the United Nations for more than 25 years.
Our nation cannot afford to pay for a new expensive arms race in outer space.”
Lisa Savage of Solon, founding member of the Maine Natural Guard and Green independent candidate for U.S. Senate in 2020 said, “The fact that a rocket launch site could be an attractive target for military strikes concerns me. Also, some of the corporations involved in the conference this year – for example, Teledyne – directly profit from the U.S.-Israel genocide in Gaza.”
Environmental leader Hillary Lister of Augusta opposes rocket launches in Maine due to pollution concerns: “Rocket launches put wildlife, fisheries, and waters at risk no matter what type of fuel is used. Risk of fire is always present and the standard solution is PFAS foam. Also, waste and debris from rocket launches and satellites contribute to already serious plastic pollution on our land and in our oceans.”

Keep Space For Peace Week
2025-10-04 - 2025-10-11
This Year we are Highlighting Opposition to the “Golden Dome”
The US military preparations for global war continue – on land, at sea, in the air and in space. Wars cannot be fought these days without support from space systems, and the aimof the U.S. Space Force is to ensure that it controls outer space and the Earth below.
Trump’s provocative plan to build a ‘Golden Dome’ unmbrella over North Amrica would cost several trillion dollars and require even more cuts in social spending. If the system ever worked (which is unlikely) it would be a key component of Pentagon nuclear first strike planning. To create an impenetrable Dome is to dream the impossible dream. The US is cutting space observation projecys vital for understanding and mitigating the many and varies causes of environmental degradation.
Is space as a war-fighting domain the reality we want to build out future on? Instead of weapons in space for a Golden Dome we should be leading the effort to ban weapons and warfare in space.
