Sign the Northside Planning Council petition
The Northside Planning Council is circulating this petition as an opportunity for Madison residents to share their opposition on a transparent and public platform: tinyurl.com/f35petition
The Truax Air National Guard base in Madison is one of five locations under consideration as a site for 18 new F-35A aircraft. The F-35 has been designated part of the Department of Defense Strategic Nuclear Triad – first-strike fighter jets designed to carry nuclear warheads. The base must be expanded and modified in order to accommodate the jets.
Our mission is to stop the basing of the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter at Truax. We oppose the basing for many reasons, including the protection of thousands of people living around the airport Open each section below to learn more about the dangers associated with the F-35 and the expansion of the Truax base.
“The F-35 project is an example of commercial greed at its most indefensible. It has no place in Madison or anywhere else in Wisconsin.” – John Nichols, Sept. 17, 2019
