HANDS OFF GAZA! HANDS OFF PALESTINE! HANDS OFF YEMEN! HANDS OFF LEBANON!
Israel has resumed its brutal genocide and all out war on the Palestinian people in Gaza with full backing of the US Government.
The US administration has confirmed that they were consulted on Israel’s latest aggression. The US government, with its unwavering political and economic support, is directly responsible for this escalation against Gaza and the ongoing genocide.
Join us to demand an arms embargo against apartheid Israel. We can, we must, and we will confront this moment and what it requires of us despite attempts to criminalize what has become the largest anti war movement in history. The fight for a free Palestine is the fight for the freedom of us all.
We are taking action at Tesla to protest Elon Musk and his illegal activities. Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk. Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us—not politicians, not the media.

We love the Tesla Takedown protests and the impact they have been having on Elon Musk’s wallet. Join us next Saturday, April 26 outside the Tesla dealership on 4th Street in Berkeley. In addition to the usual protest, our Absurdist street theater group will perform!
New Video
Our street theater Absurdists have come up with a new skit in support of the Make Polluters Pay Superfund bill, currently before the California legislature. Watch it now and please share to Make Polluters PAY:
Over the last three months, we’ve seen unprecedented attacks on working people and the fabric of our civil society – mass firings of federal workers, budgets gutted, crucial regulatory frameworks dismantled, horrifying attacks on the civil rights of our migrant neighbors, imperialist bloviating by the president from Greenland to Gaza…the list could go on.\
But something else is happening too. Across the country – from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta – working people are rising up to fight back.
Next THURSDAY, MAY 1st – international workers’ day – we’re taking to the streets in hundreds of cities across the country to say ENOUGH
We refuse to accept a society that forces us into debt for our healthcare, housing, and education; that asks us to accept the deportation of our neighbors as the norm; that allows our labor to be exploited to line the pockets of the ultra rich. Not on our watch.

- Workshop on how ICE operates and Knowing Your Rights, RSVP here
Yet, despite decades of zionist aggression, for 77 years, Palestinians continue to resist, fighting for their land, their liberation, and their return. As the genocide in Gaza intensifies, violence in the West Bank escalates, and attacks on our movement grow, now is the time to show the ruling class that the world rejects Zionism—and that the masses stand with Palestine.
This Nakba 77 March will bring together people from across the world to demand:
1️⃣ An end to the genocide in Gaza;
2️⃣ A full and immediate two-way arms embargo on Israel;
3️⃣ The release of all Palestinian political prisoners;
4️⃣ Immediate humanitarian aid and reconstruction for Gaza;
5️⃣ An end to the Zionist occupation of all Palestinian land.
In Palestine and in exile, the struggle for liberation continues. We refuse to be silenced. We call on all Palestinians, and on every person of conscience, to march with us this May 17 for a free Palestine. Your voice, your presence, and your solidarity are needed now more than ever.
Right now, ICE agents are ramping up operations inside immigration courts across the country. On Friday, California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice released a press statement alerting us that court buildings in San Francisco, Concord, and Sacramento have seen ICE agents asking people for their names and IDs, and even coordinating with ICE attorneys inside the courtroom to try to get cases dismissed, just to arrest people as they walk out. This aggressive tactic is a direct threat to due process and justice, putting families and communities at risk.
While this is a terrifying development we want to instill “power, not panic,” reminding everyone that people in immigration proceedings have rights, and that help is available through local Rapid Response Networks (www.ccijustice.org/carrn) and court accompaniment programs. For more information read the full press release here.
This is the moment to show up. Stand with immigrant community members under attack. Raise your voice. Take action. Let’s move forward together.

The people of Los Angeles have courageously stood up against Trump’s reign of terror against immigrant families. In response, the administration has deployed the National Guard and heavily militarized federal troops in an attempt to spread terror and intimidate people out of exercising their right to protest.
But we refuse to be silenced! The people of the Bay Area demand ICE get out of our communities, stop the deportations, and stop the raids.
For those who believe in immigrant rights, for those who believe in democracy, for the entire working class – now is the time to take to the streets in protest!
