March 19, 2005 was an International Day of Protest on the second anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
In San Francisco, ANSWER organized a rally that took place in Dolores Park. A stage was set up near 19th and Dolores with speakers (including Tom Ammiano) beginning around 11am. A student contingent gathered at the 16th St BART station at 10AM before marching to Dolores Park. A labor rally met near 18th and Dolores as speakers addressed issues such as Social Security reform and underemployment. Contingents of pro-Palestinian people, pro-immigrant rights groups, and Anarchists also gathered near 18th and Dolores.
Over ten thousand people took to the streets. Around 11:30 the main ANSWER banners were assembled near 19th and Dolores, and contingents, including Veterans For Peace, BAYAN, and the California Nurses Association lined up behind them. The march wove up to Mission St., then left to 16th St, then right on Valencia to Market St, before ending up at Civic Center Plaza, where another stage was set up. Speakers including Danny Glover demanded a US withdrawal from Iraq and that the US take a less militaristic approach to the world.

Indybay and ECR's Breaking News from 3/19
At about 3:15, an aftermarch left Civic Center, and zigzagged back and forth between South of Market and Mission and Market Streets. About 100 people were chased by police, and used running and turning around in traffic as ways to try to avoid the cops. At 14th and Valencia, there were confrontations in the street and on the sidewalk. Nine people sat down in the street and were eventually arrested by cops who used pain compliance methods on them. The march reconverged in the Lower Haight, and chants of "while you're shopping, bombs are dropping" were heard. The march then went by the GAP and there were reports of property enhancement at McDonald's.
