 learn more about this new ongoing campaign and to help us succeed in a safe 
 and well executed action, please attend this East Bay workshop, if you can. 
 \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, 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\nOn Jan. 23, 10am 
 we are returning to Travis for our 2nd nonviolent action.  It will be a 
 100% legal action, with very low risk for arrest. It will be safe for 
 children, families, and more at risk individuals.  Please check for 
 carpooling and other updates on our 
 website:\nhttps://peoplesarmsembargo.org/\n\nJan. 23 Action Details Here:  
 \nhttps://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2025/01/15/18872264.php \n\nWhy 
 Travis?\n\nTravis AFB is complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza because 
 it is transporting US weapons to Israel, thus aiding in the horrific war 
 crimes of the Israeli Apartheid State, and in violation of numerous federal 
 and international laws.  We will continue to resist and interrupt the 
 weapons supply chain at Travis until the the weapons shipments to Israel 
 cease.  (See "News Update" attached)\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 Air Force Base 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\nFurther Background:\n\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 this 
 month, but the Fairfield DA has dismissed all 23 cases! This is a huge 
 victory. WE WILL RETURN!\n\nFor more info:   
 https://peoplesarmsembargo.org/\n\nNews Update:  Though we celebrate that 
 Israel and Hamas are getting closer to possibly brokering an extended 
 ceasefire deal, will it last?  In addition, the obscenity and scale of 
 Israeli war crimes already committed against the people of Gaza cannot be 
 erased; nor can Israel's ongoing military aggression on the people of 
 Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran be ignored.  US military aid and weapons 
 supply to Israel must cease now.  We will continue to organize nonviolent 
 actions at Travis until our tax dollars are spent on human needs and the 
 weapons supply chain from Travis to Israel is broken.\n
