MEDIA ALERT

April 23, 2008

The Port Workers May Day Organizing Committee is proud to announce
that Cynthia McKinney, former Congresswoman from Georgia; Danny
Glover, renowned actor and political activist; and Cindy Sheehan,
Gold Star mother whose son Casey was killed in Iraq four years ago,
will be among the featured speakers at our "No Peace, No Work"
Holiday mobilization in San Francisco on May 1st.

The West Coast longshore workers have voted to stop work to protest
against the ongoing war and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. The
Port Workers May Day Organizing Committee and the other rank-and-file
committees in ports up and down the West Coast have received pledges
of support from labor councils, local unions and anti-war,
anti-racist, immigrant and other social justice organizations across
the country and around the globe.

The "March with Longshore Workers" will assemble at 10:30 a.m. on
Thursday, May 1st, at the Longshore (ILWU) hall at Mason & Beach, and
will march down the Embarcadero for a noon rally at Justin Herman
Plaza.
