Join us Nov. 20: The People's Arms Embargo...Travis AFB, Fairfield, CA

[David Hartsough]

Friends,

Here is the invitation to participate in the nonviolent Peoples Arms Embargo at Travis AFB WEdnesday Nov 20. If the Spirit should lead you to participate either in the civil disobedience of blocking the workers going onto the base to load the bombs or as support of others who will be arrested, let me know and I can send you more information with directions etc. If you have questions or concerns I am also happy to speak with you. My phone no is 415 359 8343. Our basic message is the US must stop sending bombs and weapons to Israel to be dropped on the civilian population of Gaza and Lebanon and beyond. War is Not the Answer. Later on Wednesday the Senate will be voting on Sen. Bernie Sanders' resolution to stop the arms shipments. Hope you will write or call your Senators sharing your concern.

Love and Peace,

David

Please bring a (bloodied) shroud covered baby or child:  This is what genocide looks like!

BACKGROUND:

After over a year of US funded genocide in Palestine, and mass protests across the country, our government is STILL ignoring the will of the majority of Americans who say no to tax $$ and weapons to the Israeli Apartheid State:  Congress is preparing to send $20 billion MORE in military aid to support the horrific slaughter in Gaza!

-We say: Please join THE PEOPLE’S ARMS EMBARGO.  If the US won’t instate an arms embargo, we will!

-Will you join our new broad coalition to bring monthly nonviolent resistance to Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, CA, from where US weapons are sent to Israel…Support our campaign until the US stops funding Israeli genocide in Palestine.
