1. Wednesday, 7:00am, SHUT DOWN THE APEC CEO SUMMIT!
Meet at:
Powell & Market Street (BART Plz)
SF
Hundreds of people will be putting their bodies on the line, reflecting the diversity of groups and communities impacted by APEC’s militarism, neoliberalism, and climate destruction.
On Wednesday, November 15th, we’re planning a large scale, well organized, high visibility action to SHUT DOWN the APEC Summit.
From Nov. 12th to Nov. 17th in San Francisco, CA, 21 heads of state, over 1200 CEOs of global corporations, and thousands of corporate lobbyists, government officials and “free trade” delegates will come to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation’s Summit to further their drive for profits, and their control over our political, economic, and cultural life, as well as the rapidly deteriorating climate. Their long-time strategy to concentrate power and wealth, funds police states around the Asia-Pacific and Latin America region, locks in an unsustainable fossil fuel economy and silences our voices of resistance.
APEC’s goal is to establish major international trade deals, but in reality: they keep powerful nations powerful. The “global leaders” and businesses involved prioritize corporate profits over people’s needs while crafting agreements that will impact over 3 billion people around the world without any of us getting a say.
Demand People Over Profit

Thursday, 4:30pm, UC Berkeley Shutdown For Palestine
UC Berkeley
Campanile steps
Berkeley
The United States and Israel are committing a genocide against the Palestinian people. Our university and the UC system are complicit in this genocide through investments in companies that fund the Israeli war machine.
With over 11,000 Palestinians martyred and no ceasefire in sight, we encourage you all to NOT buy anything from UC Berkeley affiliated stores or dining halls.
Stand in solidarity with us by practicing BDS and demanding this institution divests from weapons manufacturers that arm Israel. With BDS is how we shut down the war machine
On Thursday Nov 16th at 12:30, we will be at the Campanile steps to honor our martyrs. We encourage you all to join us.
