DESCRIPTION:⚓️ THE BAY STRIKES BACK 🌊 \n\n🚨 Comrades and community- there is 
 a major update in the call for global solidarity actions from the Sumud 
 Flotilla.\n\nThe Flotilla is calling for a Global Wave of Actions as they 
 set sail, in collaboration with unions, organizations, students, and 
 militants around the world.\n\nThe reality is that we expect the Zionist 
 enemy to strike our sailing comrades, who are carrying necessary aid and 
 also provoking the world to uphold international law, and Palestine’s 
 sovereignty. We pray that some of our comrades will be able to successfully 
 break the Israeli blockade, and we know that international solidarity 
 increases the pressure to do so. This autonomous action is being organized, 
 to bring our communities together for DIRECT ACTION.\n\nBecause this global 
 initiative to BREAK THE SIEGE has always been about the power of the people 
 to affirm the people of Gaza and the struggle for Palestinian liberation, 
 we join the call from the Global Sumud Flotilla to “BESIEGE THE 
 PROFITEERS” on Friday, September 19th.\n\nOakland is a major site of 
 international shipping and arms trade. We intend to freeze that, alongside 
 people worldwide, to show our collective power. BREAK THE BLOCKADE, BREAK 
 THE ARMS TRADE— OR WE WILL BREAK THE ECONOMY!\n\nJOIN US\n🗓️  6AM 
 SEPTEMBER 19\n🔻 WEST OAKLAND HUEY P NEWTON SCULPTURE @ Mandela & Dr. 
 Huey P. Newton Way\n😷❤️‍🔥 MASK UP, MOVE TOGETHER, KEEP EACH 
 OTHER SAFE\n♿️  March route (eight blocks) is wheelchair accessible. 
 Gathering spot is three blocks from West Oakland BART, and that route along 
 7th St and Mandela Pkwy is also wheelchair accessible (just watch out for 
 one small deep hole in the sidewalk on the east side of Mandela between 7th 
 and 8th Streets). Stay tuned for additional access info.\n\nID: Flyer on a

 Friday, September 19, 6 AM. Meet at West Oakland Huey P. Newton sculpture
