From the organizers: Tired of just holding signs or sending letters to your Representatives? Want to take some concrete action that will directly impact the war? Find out how you can help end the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan!Hidden away in Northwest Missouri, the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant is one of the most integral mechanisms of the U.S. war machine. Producing over 90% of all small arms ammunition for the U.S. Military, Lake City is a linchpin in the U.S. war effort in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries.The US led war in Iraq has been raging for nearly six years, wars of occupation for centuries before that. While the current US anti-war movement continues to utilize public vigils and aims at portraying the truth to those in power, we find one thing to remain clear: those in power have a concrete understanding of their role in a global military industrial complex.As people opposed to war, occupation and state sponsored terrorism, we understand the role that logistical support operations play in perpetuating the US war effort - at home and abroad. While counter-recruitment campaigns, port resistance actions, and physical attacks on military infrastructure have all targeted some of these logistical frameworks, the ammunition supply line has been fairly ignored.In March of 2009, opponents of war and militarism are planning for the first of what will become several targeted disruptions of Lake City's ability to maintain the war and occupation.Disrupt! Lake City is a grouping of anti-authoritarian and anti-war organizers working to end war and military occupation. Members of DLC will be touring the country during the winter of 2008 to build momentum for this campaign.
