Community Theater and Art Display are Part of the July 14 Event(Belfast, ME) Belfast Welcomes Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE PINK with art display and community theater.

Ms. Benjamin’s book, Drone Warfare, will be on sale and she will be signing copies of it following her talk and a short question and answer period. The book provides a comprehensive look at the growing menace of robotic warfare, an analysis of who is producing the drones, where they are being used, who "pilots" them, the victims, and the legal and moral implications of their use. “In reality,” writes Benjamin, “the assassinations we are carrying out via drones will come back to haunt us when others start doing the same thing to us.” Paintings, drawings, and sculpture with a peace or anti-war theme will be on display throughout the evening, beginning at 4:00 pm with appetizers by chef Eric Goodale and wine. Artist Kenny Cole will be giving away a limited edition, signed screen print, "Bread Bunny" to event attendees, on a first come basis, while they last. At 6:00 pm, a potluck supper with an emphasis on local food will be shared by all. An original theater presentation directed by Larraine Brown at 7:00 pm will feature community performers. Following the performance, the Tri-Peace Trio of Jud Esty-Kendall, Leslie Latour, and Larry Latour will lead the group in celebrating Woody Guthrie's 100th birthday with a sing-a-long. If the weather is cooperative, the evening will end with a stroll through Belfast’s City Park. Sponsors for this event include Outspoken Women, Peace & Justice Group of Waldo County, WERU-FM Community Radio, Old Professor’s Bookshop, Jim Harney Chapter of Veterans for Peace, Unitarian Universalist Church of Belfast Social Action Committee, the Belfast Co-op Store, Whitman Graphics, Monroe Progressives, Larraine Brown, and the Maine Green Independent Party of Monroe.
