No promises. #BlockTheBoat #BDS ImageImage
Picketers begin arriving at terminal entrances at the Port of Oakland. We will be here until the apartheid-profiting ZIM ship leaves for good! #BlockTheBoat #BDS ImageImage
Truckers for Palestine. #BlockTheBoat #BDS #Oakland
No one is getting through this picket, and people continue to arrive every minute. Come join us! #BlockTheBoat #BDS #EndIsraeliApartheid
“When people are occupied, resistance is justified!” #BlockTheBoat #BDS #Oakland
Incredible! Still plenty of time to come join us at the Port of Oakland to #EndIsraeliApartheid! #BlockTheBoat #BDS
Just one of several entrances at the Port of Oakland being picketed to turn away the Israeli apartheid-profiting ZIM cargo ship. Plenty of time to join if you are in the Bay Area! #BlockTheBoat #BDS
Pups against apartheid! #BlockTheBoat #BDS Image
“Back up! Back up! We want Freedom, Freedom! All these Zionist attacks, we don’t need ‘em, need ‘em!” #BlockTheBoat #BDS #EndIsraeliApartheid #Oakland
Massive disruption at the Port of Oakland to block the apartheid-profiteering Israeli ZIM ship from unloading cargo. No justice, no commerce. #BlockTheBoat #BDS ImageImage
Incredible support from truckers and rank-and-file longshore workers today at the Port of Oakland. Palestinian labor unions called for solidarity and we are answering that call. No one wants ZIM’s apartheid profiteering in the Bay Area! #BlockTheBoat #BDS
One of SIX ENTRANCES here at the Port of Oakland being picketed by the Bay Area community. Hundreds at this entrance alone in solidarity with Palestine. The ZIM ship must turn away! #BlockTheBoat #BDS #EndIsraeliApartheid
It’s officially after 8AM in Oakland, but no longshore workers have crossed our picket! The apartheid-profiteering ZIM ship remains fully loaded, cranes remain idle. Every minute we keep cargo from being unloaded, ZIM loses money! #BlockTheBoat #BDS #EndIsraeliApartheid Image
Workers continue to make noise and show their solidarity with #BlockTheBoat & #FreePalestine. Solidarity is beautiful. #EndIsraeliApartheid #BDS
We've just declared VICTORY for the morning shift! We've shut down the terminal, and need to hold the picket for just a bit longer! #Blockthebloat #EndIsraeliOccupation #EndIsraeliApartheid #FreePalestine #BDS Image
