Location Details:

West Oakland BART to Oakland Docks Railroad Bridge

Let's step it up and “Call in PINK” this Friday, Sept 21st, International Peace Day & Iraq Moratorium. Gather 2:30pm at West Oakland BART Station, south parking lot; 3:00pm March to the Railroad Bridge to the Oakland Ports.

We must NOT allow Bush, Gates, Betray-us to snow Congress & the nation as they try to buy us off talking troop “reduction”; we are talking troop “WITHDRAWAL”. We the people MUST shut down war NOW!

Help SHUT DOWN War Profiteer SSA (Stevedore Services of America), the shipping corporation that received a ‘no-bid’ contract to take over the port in Iraq; and that supplies the war daily!

Remember, Congress cannot hear over the bling unless we are talking REALLY LOUD. Help make this Friday memorable: it is International Peace Day, Iraq Moratorium kick-off, Yum Kippur, and the Fall Equinox- plus the anniversary of our first Golden Gate Bridge March!

See you hot pink in the streets!

§actually planning to blockade? ILWU on board?

I was at the last port action, which was successful, but by the seat of its pants. These are important questions. Is this planned as a symbolic protest or a direct action? Will protestors again have to negotiate with longshoremen on the spot or have they been included in the planning? Please advise...
