DESCRIPTION:Organizing Meeting for Sunday\n\nJoin the Labor and Community Picket of an 
 Israeli Zim Lines Ship—Oakland\n\nSunday, June 20, 5:30 a.m. 
 (morning)\nPort of Oakland, Berth 57, Middle Harbor Rd\n\nProtest 
 Israel’s Attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla! \nBoycott Israeli Ships and 
 Goods! \nLift the Blockade NOW – Let Gaza Live! \nBring Down Israel's 
 Apartheid Wall! \nUnions, labor federations and other organizations around 
 the world have condemned Israel’s deadly attack against the Gaza Freedom 
 Flotilla on May 31. Nine people were killed and dozens seriously injured in 
 the Israeli commando attack in international waters on ships attempting to 
 bring humanitarian cargo to the suffering and blockaded people of Gaza. Six 
 people aboard the ships are still missing and presumed dead.\n \nThe 
 Israeli attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla was a blatant act of piracy on 
 the high seas. No Israeli ship should now be allowed to carry on trading 
 activity any where in the world without facing picket lines, protests and 
 embargo. Dock workers in several countries including South Africa, Norway, 
 Sweden and Malaysia have declared that they will refuse to handle Israeli 
 cargo in the coming weeks.\n \nWe call on everyone who stands for justice 
 and against occupation and apartheid to join the June 20 picket at the Port 
 of Oakland. This is a moment of great opportunity. In San Francisco in 
 1984, a picket line and refusal to unload cargo of a ship carrying South 
 African cargo was a key event in mobilizing the anti-apartheid movement 
 worldwide.\n \nSponsored by: Labor / Community Committee in Solidarity with 
 the People of Palestine:\nArab American Union Members Council, ANSWER (Act 
 Now to Stop War and End Racism), Palestine Youth Network, US Palestine 
 Community Network, Al Awda- Right to Return Coalition, Arab Youth 
 Organization, MECA-Middle East Children’s Alliance, Students for Justice 
 in Palestine, Arab Resource and Organizing Center, International Solidarity 
 Movement, San Jose Peace and Justice Center, International Socialist 
 Organization, Peace and Freedom Party - SF, Transport Workers Solidarity 
 Committee and many labor activists in the Bay Area (list in 
 formation—reply to endorse)\n\n\n
