Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride September 20-October 4, 2003
Legalization and
A Road to Citizenship
Immigrant workers, living and paying taxes in the United States, deserve the rights to legalize their status, to have a clear road to citizenship, to reunify their families, to have a voice on the job without regard to legal status, and to enjoy full protection of their civil rights and civil liberties... rights denied by their undocumented status and outdated laws. The road to citizenship needs a new map. The goal of the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride is to help draw that map.
Chevron Texaco is now shipping stolen Iraqi oil to it's toxic Richmond refinery in the Bay Area, poisoning our air and lungs and fueling a corporate globalized empire. More shipments are scheduled to come.

A WEEK FOR PEACE & GLOBAL JUSTICE
SEPTEMBER 6-13, 2003
Reflect & Act: Bay Area Mobilizes Against The World Trade Organization & War For Empire!
Around the anniversary of September 11 and as the World Trade Organization Ministerial is met with popular resistance in Cancun, Mexico, people across the globe will take action against empire, corporate globalization, war, occupation and its devastation of our communities.
We commemorate September 11th-- our grief is a cry for peace and global justice, not a pretext for wars of empire or attacks on our civil liberties and immigrant communities. Please join and help shift history.
A Better World is Possible!

Resist the WTO! Troops Home Now! No Stolen Iraqi Oil in the Bay! No Toxic Terror in Our Communities!
Over 300 community activists gathered to protest ChevronTexaco, a company with close ties to the Bush administration, in a solidarity action with Mexican resistance to the WTO. ChevronTexaco is shipping stolen Iraqi oil to its toxic Richmond refinery, poisoning our air and lungs and fueling a corporate globalized empire. See sf.indymedia.org for more.
Neighbors for Peace and Global Justice Bay Area, peace and justice groups call for neighborhood gatherings to activate and educate as many people as possible on Sept 13, an Int'l Day of
Action Against Corporate Globalization and War...
How To Get Involved
Protesters decry the secretive $680 million contract to rebuild Iraq that went to Bechtel, a military-industrial complex stalwart with close ties to the Bush administration and history around the world of dealing with dictators, privatizing public resources, and pushing costly and environmentally damaging projects.
"These people should not be running roughshod over a country that has been devastated by three wars and 10 years of economic sanctions," John Gibler of Public Citizen told a supportive crowd of hundreds.
At 8 in the morning, the scene at 50 Beale St. was one of creative chaos. Metal blockades and columns of police kept the protesters corralled on the sidewalk as 28 people blocked the entrance (another church-based group would do a blockade at lunch time) and awaited arrest.
These new updated goals were agreed to at the May 25, 2003 DASW
Spokescouncil Meeting. The proposal for modifying DASW's goals stated in
part, "Our intention is to make our goals more relevant defining framework
for long term organizing and for deepening our efforts to stop war and
uproot the system behind it."
meeting.
OUR GOALS: 1) End the war for empire and uproot the system behind it. War for
empire includes three interlocking parts:
* Military war and occupation, including: US military presence
throughout the world and support for war and occupation through
other regimes.
* Economic war to impose corporate globalization on the world,
including: the IMF, World Bank, WTO, NAFTA, FTAA, CAFTA, and Middle
East Free Trade Agreement.
* War at home, including: racial injustice, sexism and patriarchy;
cuts in and privatization of basic services; environmental
injustice and ecological destruction; and attacks on civil liberties,
immigrants, low-income communities, communities of color, unions, waged and
unwaged workers.
2) Impose real economic, social and political costs on governments and
corporations and stop business as usual until the war for empire ends.
We publicly organize mass nonviolent direct action now, with the
intention ending current war and occupation and deterring future war for
empire.
3) Assert our power to transform our communities and the world from
profits, oil and war to resistance and life! We work to create open,
welcoming, inspiring spaces where the voices of the anti-war majority
can be heard through real, direct democracy. We will help catalyze
racially just, non-patriarchal, mass movements to challenge corporate
and government power and create socially just, directly democratic,
ecological, equitable, and peaceful alternatives.
4 months and 3,000 cases later and we're still going strong. Click for info about the SF and federal infractions, the Oakland Docks and Lockheed-Martin criminal cases, civil suits, and more.
We need volunteers! Call (415) 285-1011 to get plugged in.
We need donations!
We hold corporations including Bechtel, Citigroup, the Carlyle Group and ChevronTexaco accountable not only for their profits from this war, but the fact that they made this war possible through their investments, operations, weapons, lobbying, political contributions and drive for unending profits regardless of the toll on human life, the environment or society.
OAKLAND [May 12,2003] -- Hundreds of anti-war protesters again shut down two terminals at the Port of Oakland Monday night, but this time nobody got a welt, wound or broken bone in the process.
Monday night's demonstration at APL and Stevedoring Services of America was the nonviolent community picket that was supposed to happen April 7, but instead turned into a massive melee when Oakland police fired wooden dowels, hard bean bags and rubber pellets into the crowds.
