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: 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.

-THE PEOPLE’S ARMS EMBARGO: Will your organization become a co-sponsor?

IMPORTANT: For our first action we decided to be more public in our organizing so that we could more easily build a broad coalition initially. For future actions we will organize in a more secure manner. Thanks for your understanding.
