DESCRIPTION:Shut Down Drone Warfare Spring Action\nApril 5-11, 2026 \nHolloman Air 
 Force Base, Southern New Mexico \n(The largest drone training base in the 
 U.S. - graduates 700+ drone operators & pilots annually)\nFind out more 
 here:  www.ShutDownDroneWarfare.org\n\n\nWHY JOIN US?\n\n-   Military 
 drones are one of the most essential tools of Imperialist Aggression and 
 Oppression of the 21st Century\n-   US drones continue to terrorize 
 communities globally, commit illegal targeted assassinations, violate 
 inherent right to privacy, and kill and destroy from afar with impunity, 
 from Gaza to Afghanistan, Iraq to Venezuela, Pakistan to Somalia.\n-   
 US/Israeli Military Drones have been used to target and kill doctors, 
 journalists, students, teachers, and thousands of women & children in the 
 ongoing genocide in Gaza.  \n-   U.S. Drones have murdered over 100 people 
 on boats off the coast of Venezuela, alleged "drug smugglers.” 
  Execution without trial?  For possible drug smuggling.  Really?\n-   
 US drones have played a critical role in illegal regime changes, most 
 recently in the unlawful abduction of the Venezuelan president, Nikolas 
 Maduro and his wife.\n-   The absolute lawlessness of the use of U.S. 
 militarized drones began with George W. Bush, expanded under Presidents 
 Obama and Biden and is now insanely out of control with President Trump. 
  \n\n\n\nHelp us demand a world free from war by first demanding a world 
 free from drone terror! \nSupport the self determination of the people of 
 Palestine, Venezuela, Somalia, Sudan and people all around the world.\nThis 
 spring Venezuela and Palestine will be highlighted in our daily vigil 
 themes.\nUS Hands Off Venezuela, Palestine and EVERYWHERE!\n\n\nEncourage 
 GI Resistance to Illegal Orders,,... Just as some Congress members 
 did!\n\n\nSmall is Beautiful:  Last spring at Holloman AFB, a small but 
 determined group of us held a week of creative and collective protest that 
 included a nonviolent day of resistance to drone warfare.  Read about 
 it HERE.\n\n\nBIG is MAGNIFICENT:  We want hundreds to converge at 
 Holloman, NM in 2026. This spring we call on activists across the country 
 to join us for a few days or the entire week.   Encourage drone operators 
 in training to refuse to participate in this illegal, immoral and insane 
 program.  The week will culminate in a day of peaceful resistance. Risking 
 arrest is completely optional, and support roles are essential. 
  \n\n\nNote:  In 16 years of peaceful drone resistance at Creech AFB, 
 Nevada, including dozens of blockades, activists have never spent more 
 than one night in jail.  In 3 years of drone resistance at Holloman AFB, 
 NM, activists have only been detained and never taken to jail!  We ARE on 
 the right side of justice!\n\nMore details will come soon!  Please bring 
 friends, help make our spring action MAGNIFICENT!\n\n\nThe Shut Down Drone 
 Warfare Team,\nToby, Nick, Virginia, Scott, Bill, Greg, Charles, Fred, and 
 Edwina\n\nShutDownDroneWarfare.org\n\nSpecial Invitation:  \nWe would like 
 a HUGE presence of Veterans to stand with us at Holloman this 
 spring. \nVeterans For Peace, About Face, and all others.  We welcome 
 your ideas!\nPlease contact us!\n\nToby Blomé\nPeople's Arms Embargo\nSF
