Martin Luther King Day saw a number of protests and social justice actions around the country. In Arizona, three activists were arrested after marching onto the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. They attempted to hold a peace vigil against uranium bombing and armed drones before they were taken in custody. One of the three, Jean Boucher, referenced Obama’s post-shooting speech, saying, “President Obama’s mandate, when he spoke last week in Tucson, that 'we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children's expectations’ compels me to act. I do not believe that constant war lives up to the expectations of our nation’s children.”
