United States - April 24, 2024
Appeal from San Francisco Bay Area endorsing the call of the Palestinian unions to an International General Strike against the genocide on Gaza:
“May Day port shutdown - Oakland!”
“Rise for Palestine”
We reproduce the appeal:
OAKLAND PORT SHUTDOWN
This May Day, we rise to the call to action by workers of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions. Palestinian workers urge us "to stand in solidarity with our struggle and take decisive action to honour the countless martyrs lost and the families torn apart, and build pressure for a free Palestine."
There will be no business at the Port of Oakland this May Day while Palestinians in Gaza are being massacred in by Israel. We will unite with working people from all across the Bay Area, marching in solidarity with May Day actions in San Francisco and Oakland, to shut down the Port.
Time and time again, the Bay Area has risen up to say NO to genocide, NO to apartheid, and to call an end to the US government’s complicity in the Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians. As students rise to fight for divestment from Israel, working people will rise to demand the same. Free Palestine!
