On Tuesday, October 17th, Israel bombed Al Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, the “Palestinian Health Ministry says at least 500 people have been killed in an attack on a hospital in central Gaza.”
Thursday, October 19th GAZA UPDATE: “From Defense for Children International – Palestine : At least 1,524 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health, about 40% of the total death toll since Israeli forces began bombarding the Gaza Strip on October 7.” Many more remain trapped under the rubble.

5. Saturday, 12Noon, Stop The Wars Abroad-Win The War At Home Rally At Travis AFB Stop The War On Gaza
Guest Center California Travis AFB
Air Base Parkway & Parker Rd,
Fairfield
Global Day of Action, Stop the War on Gaza Abolish NATO, Shutdown 800 Bases Around the World
While millions in the US are without healthcare and hundreds of thousands of poor and working people are living in tents or on the streets, the US politicians from the Democrats and Republicans want to put billions more into the US war machine in Israel and Ukraine. The US supports these wars like it provoked the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan. The US is now shipping billions more for the war against Palestinians by Israel. The AFL-CIO and all of labor need to oppose these wars and the war machine. We need labor boycotts and strikes to end these wars abroad.
While we do not support the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this war has been engineered to create a war hysteria and more war spending which is already ap- proaching $1 trillion.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of workers from the UAW to SAG AFTRA are fighting for living wages and against contracting out, elimination of jobs through AI/Robotics and union busting. These struggles are what working people need to organize to win NOW for all people and the threat to shutdown the government should be met with a real national general strike to bust the union busters. The rise of fascism as well is a real danger and it is growing.
The main enemy is not the Russians, Chinese, or other countries, but the war criminals running the Congress & US government. This is the business of war which benefits the profiteers of the military industrial complex which own the Congress and Biden.
As part of an International Day of Action, from Italy to Turkey, Argentina and Japan, actions will take place around the world at US military bases. Travis AFB handles more cargo and passengers than any other military air terminal in the United States.

Mme. Mildred Aristide, the former First Lady of Haiti and a member of the Board of Administration of the University of the Dr. Aristide Foundation (UNIFA), will be coming soon to the Bay Area to discuss the remarkable work of UNIFA amidst the deepening crisis in Haiti.
As always, Haitians continue to persevere in the face of the most daunting challenges. One shining example is the ongoing work of the University of the Dr. Aristide Foundation, which now has over 5,000 students and faculties in Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Physical Therapy, Law, Architecture, Economics, Education, and Agriculture, and just opened a new teaching hospital. UNIFA embodies the spirit of the new Haiti being built under the most trying conditions.
