At least hundreds of union members rallied at Oakland City Hall Saturday to call for a ceasefire in Oakland.
The “Labor for Palestine” rally brought out members from 14 unions across the Bay Area.
In addition to the call for the cease-fire, a statement put out by organizers said it also wanted the U.S. to stop providing military aid to Israel and “an end to Israel’s occupation.”
