BATH — Peace activists from Maine and beyond will walk through large portions of Maine Oct. 10-19 to highlight the issue of “drone surveillance at home and drone killing overseas.”
The walk will begin in Limestone in Aroostook County and end in Bath.
There is much talk about bringing drones to Maine and making the Presque Isle airport a weaponized drone test center, according to a new release announcing the walk, which begins in Limestone on Oct. 10.
On Oct. 18, walkers will hold a protest against drones inside the Hall of Flags at the state capitol in Augusta at 3 p.m. The walk will conclude with a protest at 10 a.m. Oct. 19 at the christening of the Navy’s first stealth destroyer at Bath Iron Works.
