People Over Billionaires Rally and March in San Francisco's Ritziest Neighborhood

Its the mansion encrusted neighborhood where billionaire Trump supporters Larry Ellison and David Sacks live. Its also where an action organized by the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment and including environmental, labor and progressive groups marched with music and street theater to challenge the billionaires' power.

The activists assembled in Alta Plaza Park, San Francisco's billionaire epicenter. Socialists and Communists had literature tables. Kits containing a whistle and ICE reporting instructions were distributed. The first stop was David Sacks' mansion. They carried a banner and large signs created by David Solnit that proclaimed people over billionaires in English and Spanish. Among speeches the crowd learned how do the, sweeping the country, People Over Billionaires dance.

Then it was on to Larry Ellison's pad with its stainless steel garage doors. "Larry Ellison" proclaimed his views to a "boat" and various sea creatures. A school of "orcas" urged us all to "get orcanised."

The well organized action then returned to the park where excellent sandwiches and burritos were provided. An event, satisfying in many ways.
