We 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.

People will be gathering at West Oakland BART at 5AM in the parking lot to caravan and carpool to the site. The area may be blocked off to cars so we may have to walk to the berth area, about one mile.

Note that BART does not run at that time on Sundays to you will have to get there some other way: car, bus, bike, etc.

Also, bring your own food and water and sunblock and hat, etc.

There will be live video streaming from the action.

Just scoped out the site. There is no public parking ( either in lots or street) within a mile. If you can't carpool, prepare for a brisk walk, or bring your bike.
