530 Water St.
Oakland<\/h1>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s been 4 months since our report exposed the killer cargo flying out of the Oakland Airport \u2014 we demand that the Port of Oakland take action immediately.
Join us Thursday Dec 18 as we protest and pack Oakland\u2019s port commissioner meeting to demand an end to the Israeli military cargo shipments flying out of Oakland\u2019s civilian airport, OAK. Stay tuned for updates on timing at @oaklandarmsembargo.<\/h1>\n\n\n\nAs holiday packages fly in and out of the Oakland airport, they\u2019re accompanied by deadly F-35 components headed to Israel. OAK should be a place we pick up our loved ones, not send F-35 fighter jet parts for genocide.
Show up to demand that our Port Commissioners respect the will of local residents and international law. Oaklanders did not consent to allowing killer cargo shipments flow from our airport to Israel, and we refuse to be complicit in genocide.<\/h1>\n\n\n\nInstagram info: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/oaklandarmsembargo\/<\/a> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
