Get trained before Saturday’s mass march!
“Oakland’s Work Holiday” is a multimedia presentation that includes 80 original photos of the 1946 strike, in addition to video clips of newsreel footage and short interviews of participants in the strike (from a video of the 60th anniversary commemoration). It aims to not only to bring to life this nearly forgotten piece of working class history, but also to serve as a call to reinvigorate the traditions of solidarity and militant tactics that made the post-World War II strike wave the fiercest episode of class struggle in United States history.
Elders from native communities will discuss what this Occupation means in relation to the understanding that we have been on occupied and stolen land.
THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
Hear about the ILWU workers militant train blockade outside the EGT grain terminal at the Port of Longview that resulted in scuffles with riot police and 19 arrests. How can we at Occupy Oakland support Longshoremen and the next steps they are taking and build solidarity.

Come hear a union member explain the various city unions’ debates about Occupy Oakland.
