Following our victory against the Israeli ZIM ship this morning, the Bay Area is gathering again at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park in the Port of Oakland to keep the ship from unloading. As long as the ship is here, we will be as well! #BlockTheBoat #BDS #EndIsraeliApartheid Image
Plenty of time to come join us! Let ZIM know that their apartheid profiteering isn’t welcome in Oakland!
