*Green Sunday* The Successful Picket at the Port of Oakland - What It Means For the Longer Term Struggle Against the War and For Funding Our Needs At Home. Sunday, June 10th 5:00 - 6:30 PM On May 19 the group Port Action picketed war profiteer SSA at the Port of Oakland, demanding a stop to war shipments and Port money for schools and social services. In a significant act of solidarity, the ILWU refused to cross the picket lines, not once, but twice (morning and night shifts), resulting in a important victory for the people! This successful direct action to stop the war and fund people's needs was organized by a coalition which had as prominent members the Oakland Green Party, the Oakland Education Association, and Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism. The Green Sunday for June 10 will focus on this event. Two of the leaders, Green Party members Jonathan Nack and Larry Shoup, will discuss the event and what it might mean for the longer term struggle against the war and for funding people's needs here at home. Please come and bring your questions because, as always, our speakers will be interested in a dialogue. Beverages and snacks will be provided.
