San Francisco | Anti-WarTens of thousands of antiwar protesters on Market St
At noon thousands started to gather at Powell and Market for a protest against the war in Iraq. Pollice tried to keep the crowds off the street but there were too many people. At one the permitted march started and tens of thousands of protesters started up Market St towards the Ferry building. Feel free to post updates during the march to this thread or post yopur pictures as new posts.
March now at 2nd st
March now reachs from Powell St all the way to 2nd St. Veterans for Peace and a sign saying "Troops Out Now" (I think United for Peace and Justice) lead the march. There are many World Can't Wait, ISO, Green Party, ANSWER, and May First Coalition signs in the crowd near the front of the march (I see some Barbara Lee and Kucinich signs farther back, but I'm mainly staying near the front of the march)
Front of march now at Freemont (1 block past 1st St)
Crowd chanting "One two three four We don't want your racist war", "Whatdo we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now." and "Exxon Mobile BP Shell, take your war and go. To hell " Man near front of march has sign saying "F__k Impeachment hang Bush Like Sadam"
