DESCRIPTION:Dear Resisters of War,\n\nMeet the two War Resisters League staff members 
 who will be visiting from the WRL office in New York. Kimber Heinz and Ali 
 Issa will be on the west coast to meet with local WRL chapters as well as 
 build with west coast based Arab American, Indigenous and GI resistance 
 groups and allies. They would like to meet with you too. Please stop by on 
 February 28th! \n\nUnfortunately, the War Resisters League is not yet out 
 of business. There are still many illegal and immoral wars going on—the 
 ones that make the news, like Afghanistan and Iraq, the ones that exist in 
 many other places and don’t get a lot of attention in the news, and the 
 ones like those in Pakistan and Yemen that have been secret until just 
 recently. WRL is still committed to ending all wars and ending the root 
 causes of wars. \n\nOnce upon a time, WRL-West had an office and paid staff 
 members. Today, WRL-West has plenty to do but few people to do it. WRL-West 
 is right where you are, if you want it to be. You are the people power that 
 is needed to re-energize War Resisters League-West. There is  more than 
 just a WRL-West email list-serve. \n\nThere are many things that could be 
 done to build a WRL presence in the San Francisco Bay Area. My fantasy 
 recruitment ad is something like: “Ageing radical pacifist seeks others 
 for possible long term relationships, to participate in local chapter of 
 War Resisters League and possible affinity group. Must have desire to end 
 war and the causes of war and willingness to plug-in in whatever ways are 
 best suitable. Want to meet people willing to carry broken rifle banners 
 and/or person literature tables at rallies, marches, and other events, 
 discuss revolutionary nonviolence, and work toward nonviolent revolution. 
 People of all ages, races, and genders are wanted and needed.” \n\nThe 
 broken rifle banner does appear here and there. WRL-West occasionally 
 co-sponsors or endorses events. But there isn’t the WRL-West presence 
 that there should be. We need you to participate to make that presence 
 bloom and grow. \nPlease contact me, if you are inclined to meet with 
 others, strategize, brainstorm and act to make WRL much more present in the 
 bay area, and to guide it and make it your own. \n\nIn Peace,\n\nBob Meola, 
 for War Resisters League-West\n
