Activists and student organizations in Oakland, California, are campaigning for an arms embargo to stop military cargo shipments from Oakland International Airport to Israel. A report from the Palestinian Youth Movement claims that approximately 280 military shipments have departed the airport since January 2025, noting that between April and June 2025, the airport was a frequent transit point for F-35 fighter jet components.

In response to these findings, the ‘Oakland People’s Arms Embargo’ petition has gathered over 20,000 signatures. The movement has expanded to include demonstrations at logistics centers, such as a FedEx facility, where protesters and union members have called for an immediate halt to the transport of military supplies. Protesters allege these shipments support military operations in Gaza and Iran.
