Rally in solidarity with the West Coast Port Shut Down

Monday, December 12 - 6AM

 

On Monday, December 12, Occupy Honolulu will gather at Thomas Square at 6AM, and carpool to Sand Island for a rally in solidarity with the West Coast Port Shut Down.

The Occupy Movement has called for a West Coast Port Shut Down as ports play a pivotal role in the flow and growth of capital for the 1% in this country and internationally. Occupy groups along the West Coast and beyond plan to disrupt the process by which labor and resources are exploited for the profit of few.

The action is in solidarity with ILWU rank and file workers at the Port of Longview who have been under attack from EGT, a global conglomerate that broke a contract with them to bring in scab labor to move grain to their port. Further, the action is in solidarity with L.A. Port truckers who are fighting for the right to unionize, against Goldman Sachs, which owns a large segment of all SSA ports.
