DESCRIPTION:
The United States maintains more than 700 publicly-recognized military bases as well as hundreds of secret bases and installations in forty countries around the world. With more than 400,000 US troops "forward deployed" at these bases, they make U.S. foreign military interventions, wars like the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and even nuclear war possible.

Yet, around the world, these overseas U.S. military bases have given rise to vibrant grassroots movements that oppose them, and it is up to us in the United States to support their demands to close the bases and bring troops home.

The planned speakers for Whittier are:

Andrea Licata

He is the editor of an anthology creating plans for converting the long-standing mammoth U.S. airbase in Aviano to peaceful civilian purposes. Andrea is one of the leading organizers of the community-based campaign against the expansion of the U.S. air base in the Dal Molin suburb of Vicenza - the airbase in which the U.S. is putting state-of-the-art weaponry from which to launch rapid response attacks in the region. Andrea was an organizer of the demonstrations that occurred last December, in which hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in Vicenza in protest against the U.S. base expansion.

Maricela Guzman

She served in the US Navy in Diego Garcia and Naples, Italy from 1998 - 2002. After she left the military, before the Iraq invasion, she came out against the war and participated in marches because of the government’s budgets cuts in the VA. Maricela is a member of Service Women Action Network (SWAN), and she collaborated with other organizations in promoting military benefits for our troops as well as our veterans, women’s rights in the military, the antiwar movement, and is involved youth counter-recruitment in Los Angeles. Her goal is to become a psychologist and someday hopes to work with vets that are dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
