Then we follow the expansion of a successful blockade action against an Israeli cargo ship at the Port of Oakland, to now include seaports in Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. Next, we catch up with the Trail For Humanity, calling attention to the plight of immigrant children and we also go to an ongoing fast, on their behalf at the San Francisco Federal building. Then we look a the case of Nestora Salgado, a naturalized US citizen being held in a maximum security prison in Mexico.
