Northern California Rallies Against Occupation of Iraq, War with Iran
Following January 4 Demos, Organizers Call for More Protests on January 8, 9, 12, 14 & 25
On January 4, thousands of people rallied and marched in Northern California, proclaiming "US Out Of Iraq" and "No War With Iran." Various groups, including ANSWER Coalition and Code Pink, had already called for a rally and march in San Francisco prior to the U.S. assassination of Iranian general Qassem Suleimani near the Baghdad airport on January 3.
That extrajudicial killing swelled the turnout in San Francisco while anti-war activists quickly announced similar actions at other Northern California locations. An estimated 2500 to 3000 people marched in San Francisco. A smaller, but no less energetic, contingent raised their voices in San Mateo. A diverse crowd rallied at San Jose City Hall.
ANSWER Coalition announced an emergency protest for Wednesday, January 8 at 5pm in San Francisco at Powell and Market, which drew about 100 people on very short notice.
MoveOn, Indivisible and others called for nationwide protests and vigils on Thursday, January 9, including in at least 19 Northern California locations. Over 100 people attended a vigil for peace with Iran in Fresno on January 9.
Code Pink led a No Iran War--Golden Gate Peace Walk on Sunday, January 12 at 11:45am.
Activists on the peninsula organized a half hour non-partisan, non-sectarian Peace Vigil on Tuesday, January 14 from 5pm to 5:30pm in front of Foster City City Hall (610 Foster City Blvd).
A broader range of organizations called for a Global Day of Protest on Saturday, January 25, including in San Francisco at Powell and Market at 12pm and in at least seven other Northern California locations. About 1000 people rallied and protested at Powell and Market and marched to Union Square in San Francisco. The Raging Grannies reminded people about the Kent State massacre at the San Mateo rally against War On Iran. Several hundred people marched and rallied in San Jose.
