Jury selection is complete and opening arguments (trial) start this Friday.
Stanford and the prosecution have tried to silence these students at every step, even attempting to ban the word “genocide” from the courtroom. Now the Stanford 11 are being put on trial for standing in solidarity with Palestine.
Make sure to arrive early 8:30AM to hear announcements from Stanford 11 Defense committee. Announcements will be shared again when court breaks for lunch at 12PM.
This is the moment to show up. A packed courtroom sends a clear message: the Bay Area stands with the Stanford 11, no matter how hard the state tries to isolate, intimidate, and criminalize student resistance.

6. Saturday, 1:00pm, NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION JANUARY 10TH – FIGHT TRUMP’S WAR ON VZ AND STOP ICE TERROR
Meet at:
BART
24th & Mission
SF
The Trump administration has kidnapped Nicolas Maduro, the President of Venezuela, an absurd show of American imperialism in an attempt to steal Venezuela’s oil resources to enrich U.S. billionaires.
Meanwhile at home, ICE just murdered Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen who was legally observing their actions in Minneapolis, and shot two more people in Portland. This war on working people all over the world must end.
We are joining @demsocialists national day of action to say FIGHT TRUMP’S WAR ON VENEZUELA AND STOP ICE TERROR ACROSS THE U.S.
Host: PSL, SocDems, Palestinian Youth Movement

7. Saturday, 2:00pm – 4:00pm, Hands Off Venezuela at Chevron Refinery!
Chevron refinery,
gate 14. 100 Chevron Way,
off of Castro St,
Richmond, CA
Join a coalition of Bay Area groups as we rebuke the occupation of Venezuela for oil extraction. We decry that Chevron profits from occupation of Venezuela and Palestine, and benefits from the destabilization of other countries like Ecuador, Myanmar, the Philippines and beyond.
Meet at gate 14 of the Chevron refinery, off of Castro St right by the freeway.
Don’t stand on the sidelines while Trump spills blood on behalf of the billionaire class while they jack up the prices for rent, healthcare and groceries . Stand with us and take action this Saturday.
We know the bombs over Venezuela and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s untrained ICE militia in our cities are about billionaires making themselves richer no matter the human cost. We stand united demanding an end to the Venezuelan occupation and the removal of reckless untrained ICE agents from our communities.
Every dollar spent in wars overseas or at home is a dollar we paid for with our taxes – a dollar that could and should go to helping our communities thrive. We can have good jobs, better schools, access to healthcare and get our basic needs met. But not while our government works for billionaires and not for us.
Join us, stand strong and speak up.
Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events

9. Sunday, 12Noon – 1:00pm, Close Guantánamo Prison NOW! A 24 Year Stain on the U.S.
50 United Nations Plaza
Civic Center, at Hyde St.
San Francisco
January 11th marks 24 years since the shameful opening of Guantánamo Bay Detention Center.
The military detention facility at Guantánamo Bay is a glaring, longstanding stain on the human rights record of the United States. It facilitated horrific torture and other grave human rights violations. Today, it continues to hold 15 Muslim men, six of whom have never been charged with a crime and three of whom have long been cleared for release.
The detention center is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars, costing more than $540 million a year to maintain for just 15 detainees. It has come to symbolize the United States’ brutal use of torture, rendition and indefinite detention without charge or trial – in complete violation of internationally agreed-upon standards of justice and human rights.
Please join in community with the Global Close Guantánamo Vigils happening around the world on this shameful anniversary.
Wear orange, share words, a poem, a song.
