The 11th Annual LA Harbor Peace Week is a week of peace activities at the San Pedro Waterfront resisting the normalization and promotion of war during the U.S. military’s “LA Fleet Week.” Instead, Peace Week promotes the solutions of peace in the world and in our communities.
For 11 years during “Fleet Week,” your LA Harbor has become a military fairground at the base of the USS Iowa on the L.A. Waterfront. Polluting military flyovers, warships costing billions, amphibious attack helicopters, weapons of all types, and “careers” in war are promoted to 30,000 people, and especially the recruitment of youth to war. Join for a packed week of resistance activities.
San Pedro Neighbors for Peace and Justice, Military Families Speak Out, and Veterans for Peace LA! will all be joining along during the entire Peace Week.
