Protesters in the San Francisco Bay Area mustered a half dozen demonstrations during a nationwide weekend of actions organized by the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement.  Chevron is a major economic partner of the Israeli government and fuels Israeli apartheid and war crimes. Demonstrators said that just as in the case of South Africa, international boycotts will be an important tool to bring justice for Palestinians.

The People's Arms Embargo
In spite of a year of popular mobilization against arming Israel's genocide of Palestine and in contravention of US law, President Biden and Congress are continuing massive arms shipments to Israel. The People's Arms Embargo has responded with ongoing blockades at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California. “If the U.S. government won’t stop shipping arms to Israel, then we will establish a People’s Arms Embargo to stop it ourselves," organizers say.

Shipping Genocide: Communique Against Maersk Emeryville
On the night of December 8, Maersk's Emeryville office was vandalized "because they are merchants of death." In a communique published by "Some ordinary autonomous queers" they explain that Maersk, a Danish shipping and logistics conglomerate, ships "military cargo for the Zionist entity to use in their genocide of Palestinians. This includes parts for the F-35 jets bombing Gaza right now. We did this in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance."

Gaza Protesters Disrupt Chevron Headquarters
On September 26, Bay Area residents rallied outside the entrance to Chevron’s global headquarters in San Ramon to protest its fueling of Israel’s genocide. The company is heavily invested in the Israeli economy, supplying most of its military and civilian fuel. The Tamar gas platform, off the Gaza coast, supplies up to 70% of Israel's gas needs. Chevron, a pillar of the Israeli economy, benefits no Palestinians and enables the ongoing genocide.

Protests Demand Netanyahu's Arrest for War Crimes
On July 24, Israel's Prime Minister came to the US and addressed a joint session of Congress. However, more than a dozen legislators boycotted the speech because they, as do millions gthroughout the world, consider him to be a genocidal war criminal. Throughout Northern California and the US, demonstrations continue to demand Netanyahu's arrest and that the US stop enabling Israel's military as it kills Gazans by the tens of thousands.
Students at UCB, Cal Poly Humboldt, Stanford, Sonoma State, SF State, Sacramento State, USF, UCSC and UCD joined students at colleges throughout the country to establish occupations in support of Palestinians. Outrage at Israel's attempted genocide in Gaza has produced a movement of encampments at Harvard, Columbia, Yale, MIT, NYU, UT Austin, and more. Police have arrested hundreds, and yet the protests persist and expand.

There they painted a large mural bearing a Papal message of peace while religious leaders addressed the crowd.
