A July 2 street protest set for Senator Feinstein's office at One Post Street suddenly became very big. Starting with a handful of MoveOn activists, by twelve thirty the crowd had grown to over a thousand angry citizens.
The mood was one of horror and outrage as reports of mistreatment, particularly of children, and of deaths, filter out.
As the sidewalks could no long contain the crowd, they spilled onto one side of the Market street roadway, then the other, immobilizing the avenue. Trolleys stopped and buses were forced to detour.
Though planned to end at one PM, the crowd was in no mood to go home. They then marched down Market street to the Federal building on Seventh, to Speaker Pelosi's office. Another rally was held.
More protests are planned.

Thanks for your photos and report on the immigration issue and San Francisco's gay parade and protest. Please keep posting here. We do not always comment, but you can be sure we are all viewing your posts and are glad people protested. Some of us have a problem with the large photos. I am able to get most of them to appear, but not all. I do not know if you can change that, but you should be aware of the problem.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
