The United States maintains more than 737 publicly recognized
military bases as well as hundreds of secret bases and installations
in 140 countries around the world. With more than 400,000 US
troops "forward deployed" at these bases, they make U.S. foreign
military interventions, wars like the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and even
nuclear war possible.
Andrea Licata (Italy)—editor of an anthology of plans for converting
the long-standing mammoth U.S. airbase in Aviano to peaceful civilian
purposes. Key organizer of the demonstrations that occurred last
December, in which hundreds of thousands of people took to the
streets in Vicenza in protest of the U.S. base expansion. He also
helped create the Sir! No, Sir! Center and GI Rights Hotline in
Aviano.
Sabina Perez—Cultural activist in Guam and in the Bay Area, and one
of the key organizers of Famoksaiyan (a collective of community
