OAKLAND — Protesters declared victory early Wednesday after a demonstration in front of the Montclair neighborhood home of a construction company executive who pledged not to help build a border wall envisioned by President Donald Trump.

Trump mocks MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi for getting shot with rubber bullet Approximately 50 protesters showed up around 7 a.m. at the Montclair neighborhood home of Abbigail Brown, the CEO of CPM Logistics, an Oakland-based company that had registered on a website for contractors interested in the wall’s construction.

The protesters built about a 5-foot mock wall out of boxes in front of the home, which is located in the area of Moraga Avenue and Thornhill Drive, near Highway 13.

By 9 a.m., Brown came to her front door to speak with the protesters and said that she never put in an official bid for the project. Rather, Brown said, she made known that she might have an intention to bid but that she did so out of “curiosity” to see what local companies might submit a bid formally.

She also signed a pledge form written by protesters promising not to submit a bid but crossed out a section of it calling for her to retract her bid on the project, again insisting that her company never submitted a formal bid.

“We’ve never had any intention of submitting bids,” she said.

Her actions made the protesters happy.

“We’re celebrating,” protest spokesman Peter Woiwode said. “It’s rare to have people get the opportunity to do the right thing, and she did that. She did the right thing.”

Protesters tore down the wall shortly after 9 a.m. and dispersed. Woiwode said they intend to protest other Bay Area companies but that those protests are in the planning stages only.

“To hear about a racist border wall and see all the activity and behaviors surrounding that, and then to find out that there are companies in our backyard trying to profit off that?” he said. “That’s just something we’re not going to stand for.”

Woiwode noted the protesters were encouraged Brown’s stance.

“We hope that other companies around the Bay Area will take notice,” Woiwode said.

Police were in the area and said the protests were peaceful, and the California Highway Patrol said they did not affect freeway traffic.

Correction: July 19, 2017. An earlier version of this article incorrectly reported that CPM Logistics had reportedly submitted a bid for the border wall construction. The company was listed on a website for contractors interested in the wall’s construction, but says it did not bid. We apologize for the error.
