DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first convening of the Oakland People’s Arms Embargo 
 Campaign. After the Oakland Airport was exposed for transporting at least 
 280 military cargo to Israel, we must take action to address this killer 
 cargo flowing through our city.\n\n🗓️ Thursday, September 18\n⏰ 10 
 am PST\n📍Oakland International Airport -  TAKE BART / USE HOURLY PARKING 
 LOT\n\n*Will be live streamed on Instagram at @oaklandarmsembargo\n\nWe 
 demand that the city of Oakland follow the lead of the people and end the 
 military cargo shipments going through our civilian airport. Get killer 
 cargo out of OAK! OAKLAND ARMS EMBARGO NOW!\n\n\nBackground\n\nThe 
 Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), Arab Resource and Organizing Center 
 Action (AROC Action), and the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) have 
 partnered together to call for an end to all shipments of military cargo 
 from ports of Oakland to Israel and to demand an Oakland Arms Embargo on 
 Israel. \n\nBreaking research has uncovered Oakland's hidden and central 
 role in transporting military cargo to the Israeli military. Shipments have 
 been sent from Oakland to Israel multiple times per week, almost every 
 single week this year. The fact that shipments of F-35 fighter jet 
 components are flowing through the Oakland airport to the Israeli military 
 has been concealed from the people of Oakland, our workers, our city 
 officials, our families, and our educators. Together, we are launching a 
 broad based coalition to demand an end to Oakland’s participation in 
 genocide. \n\nSince January 2025 at least 280 military cargo shipments have 
 left the Oakland airport destined for Israel. At the same airport where our 
 community members pick up and send off loved ones, bomb release units and 
 surveillance systems for the lethal F-35 jet are being loaded and 
 transported to the Nevatim airbase. This is the airbase where the Israeli 
 F-35 fleet is maintained and repaired to continuously drop bombs on the 
 people of Gaza. \n\nThe frequency of these shipments positions Oakland 
 airport as one of few US airports consistently supplying Israel’s Nevatim 
 airbase with killer cargo.\n\nWhile Oakland was one of the first cities to 
 call for a ceasefire in 2023, its airport has been exploited as a central 
 channel for shipments to the Israeli military.\n\nThe supply chain for 
 genocide depends on Oakland. AND The people of Palestine depend on Oakland 
 to end Israeli war-making and genocide.\n
