Occupy Oakland is calling for the blockade and disruption of the economic apparatus of the 1% with a coordinated shutdown of ports on the entire West Coast on December 12th.

Prepare for December 12th:
- Read the full callout at - Bring the callout to your local General Assembly, and other community groups you work with!
- Organize to picket and blockade your nearby port (or join existing plans).
- Do hella outreach to your community and other occupations for this event
- Don't forget to talk to organized labor (especially port workers) to explain why we are doing this and help them anticipate the actions you will be taking. But remember that this is a community action - unions should not be asked to strike or officially endorse your blockade, to do so could put them in significant legal jeopardy.

On December 12th:
============
- Remain in contact with the other port blockades
- Be prepared to extend your port action into subsequent days, especially if any of our pickets is attacked by the police.
