A two-day rally was held in Potrero, near the proposed Blackwater West site. On day 1, educations sessions were held, with music and poetry in the evening. This video does not include exhaustive coverage of those sessions as they are available as separate videos.

On day 2, a rally was held on private property, featuring:

• Rep. Bob Filner (CA 51)
• Jan Hedlun (Potrero Community Planning Group)
• Jeanette Hartman (Sierra Club)
• Rick Jacobs (Courage Campaign)
• Raymond Lutz (Citizens Oversight.org)
• Carol Jahnkow (Peace Resource Center)
• Dave Patterson (Veterans for Peace)
• William Crawley IV (Potrero CPG Candidate)

and then the group marched to the property line of the proposed Blackwater West training camp site. Protestors, turned back by a chain at the property line, confronted blackwater rep. Brian Bonfiglio.
