Several worker unions, college students and community organizations marched, sat-in and continued to camp out throughout the Bay Area during May Day protests on Wednesday.

In the East Bay, Oakland Sin Fronteras, a coalition of organizations that support workers and immigrant rights, held a march to recognize and celebrate International Worker’s Day and in solidarity with Palestinian people. Nearly a thousand or more protesters marched down Telegraph Avenue and Broadway on their way to a rally at City Hall’s Frank H. Ogawa Plaza.

The Port of Oakland shutdown, which was organized by several groups including Bay Resistance, Anti-Police Terror Project and Palestinian Youth Movement ended up not taking place as the port shut down in advance of the protest. A smaller group did gather at the West Oakland BART station in the late afternoon.

Protests also place in San Jose, San Francisco and at college campuses including UC Berkeley and Stanford, where tent cities have been erected in solidarity.
