Detroiters protest top war maker
Published Sep 2, 2010 9:02 PM
Protesters denounced Admiral Mike Mullen Aug. 26 at Wayne State University
in Detroit. Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mullen is the highest-ranking
military officer in the U.S. He was speaking at a town hall meeting at the
Community Arts Auditorium on WSU’s main campus about programs allegedly
helping returning veterans. Mullen was also attempting to drum up more support
and funds for imperialist wars.
Members of the Michigan Emergency Committee Against War and Injustice and other
anti-war and progressive organizations chanted slogans such as “Money for
cities, not for war,” “Bring the troops home now,”
“Money for veterans not for war,” and “Money for education
not for war.”
After a picketline, several protesters spoke out against ongoing U.S. wars in
Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Colombia. Speakers included WSU students, labor and
community activists and Congressperson John Conyers, who was on his way to the
town hall forum.
