DESCRIPTION:https://peoplesarmsembargo.org/\n\nOur government continues to send 
 billions of dollars of military aid and weapons to Israel in spite of 15 
 months of mass mobilizations and courageous actions across the country to 
 stop it.  Travis AFB plays a direct role in transporting US weapons being 
 used in Israel's horrific genocidal campaign. The People's Arms Embargo is 
 an ongoing nonviolent campaign to oppose and resist Travis's role in 
 genocide.  Travis AFB is less than an hour from the Bay Area.  Rise Up 
 People, Rise Up.\n\nJan. 23, 10am:  This month's nonviolent action will be 
 a 100% legal action, with very low risk for arrest.  It will be safe for 
 children, families, and more at risk individuals. \n\nPlease check for 
 carpooling and other updates on our 
 website:\nhttps://peoplesarmsembargo.org/\n\nIf you can, please attend this 
 planning workshop:\nSunday, Jan. 19, 9:30am-1:30pm: Action Planning and 
 Nonviolent Training Workshop.\n\nFor workshop location register HERE.  
 \nhttps://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/fVNCN1-chsrj43b68hDrhIJRVW6PWAiwqu0qGc-1wxI/\n\nAttendance 
 in this East Bay workshop is not a requirement to participate in the Jan. 
 23 action, but it is an important workshop for community building, helping 
 orient and familiarize people to the Travis environment and our past Travis 
 actions, and creating a shared space to foster fresh ideas.  We want this 
 campaign to grow by leaps and bounds.  We need each other!\n\nThose 
 planning to attend the San Francisco Jan. 19th "We Fight Back" 
 mobilization, can depart the workshop early, as needed.\n\nBackground:\nThe 
 People's Arms Embargo, born in Nov. 2024, is a fledgling coalition of over 
 23 organizations collaborating to nonviolently interrupt the supply chain 
 of US weapons going to Israel.  Many of the organizers and participants 
 have participated in numerous actions at Travis since December 2023.  An 
 additional goal is to foster GI resistance in the military to help 
 dismantle the global war machine of US Empire, with the guidance of members 
 of Veterans For Peace.\n\nOn Nov. 20 we executed our very first action at 
 Travis.  Many dozens participated as support or directly in the nonviolent 
 "human blockades"  at all four entry roads. 23 activists were arrested, and 
 ultimately cited and released the same day. Hearings were scheduled later 
 this month, but the Fairfield DA has dismissed all 23 cases!  This is a 
 huge victory.  WE WILL RETURN!\n\n\n
