Rally in Support of Pablo Paredes!
GI Resister in San Diego
In front of Naval Headquarters
(corner of Broadway and Harbor blvd. Downtown SD)
On December 6th, 3rd class Petty Officer Pablo Paredes stood resolutely on the pier of the 32nd street naval base in San Diego, as his ship the USS Bonhomme Richard, left for Iraq without him. Sporting a simple black t-shirt with bold white letters stating: “Like a cabinet member, I resign.” anti-war sailor Paredes sent shockwaves through the military chain of command by taking a solitary stand against the war in Iraq by refusing to board his ship. "I don't want to be a part of a ship that's taking 3,000 Marines over there (to Iraq), knowing a hundred or more of them won't come back. I can't sleep at night knowing that's what I do for a living", he told the San Diego Union Tribune. Since refusing to participate in this unjust and devastating war, Pablo will now have to face the uncertainty of military punishment for being a GI with a conscience that refuses to be silent. Show support for him by joining us in a rally on his behalf this Saturday.
