NEW: Charlotte activists joined a global movement on April 15 to create an economic blockade in support of Palestine at “major chokepoints,” modeled off recent blockades in Oakland, California and Melbourne, Australia.
Early Monday morning, activists put paint and screws in the driveway to the Northrop Grumman parking lot in South Charlotte and attached bike locks to the gate to prevent personnel from entering the property.

#FreePalestine protestors have blocked the Golden Gate bridge and northbound I-880. The news is bemoaning the fact that they've got seven people locked down on concrete filled barrels and the cops are having a very hard time sawing through the contraptions to clear the road.

ppl on instagram are just finding out about google's project nimbus with israel's iof and there're rallies called for the google campus' in nyc, seattle, and the bay area.
rallies & protests are important, but i'm high-key hoping ppl connect the neurons that direct action can be as simple as abandoning google products together.
