Anti-war activists leaflet on BART!
On Wednesday, 2/12 about a dozen activists gathered at 6:30 am and went on to travel on BART. Made up with white face paint, chants and leaflets, they provided fresh reading material for BART riders. 1:50 video
About a dozen anti-war activists took their message to BART riders Wednesday morning. BART officials were open, even coopertative. One activist got into the boarding area without paying. She got caught. (it was a high security day and there were about 6 cops in sight) After some discussion with a BART cop, explaining why they were there, showing him fliers, she was told she faced a $150 fine. Instead they let her go out and buy ticket and come back in.
The station agent on duty joined the conversation with advice on how to best reach the most people. A bit later she came down to the platform with more advice.
The fliers highlighted the 1.2 million deaths of Iraqi civilians related to the 1991 war, and the upcoming bay area actions:
Feb 14 in Oakland. 3-6 pm at Frank Ogawa Plaza (near the federal bulings)
Feb 16 in SF for the major march and rally
Emergency Response if War "Starts":
day of: 5pm at Powell and Market in SF
next business day at 7am at Market and Main SF
