Newspaper boxes and the like are being thrown into the street. Riot
cops are following in vans.
5 PM - 8 PM
Reports of the size of the crowd at the protest varied from 5,000 to
10,000. People who called into ECR reported that at the opening rally,
the crowd at Powell and Market spilled into the street even before the
march started. There were many strong contingents in the march, but the
biggest and loudest was the SIAFU, Anti-Imperialist contingent - which
is made up of a number of member groups in the SF Bay Area. The second
loudest contingent seemed to be the Class War contingent, made up of
folks waving black and red flags. The march and rally was organized by
a number of groups, sponsored by Not In Our Name(NION).
The march went down Market St, after about an hour or so of speakers at
the gathering spot, the SIAFU
contingent started a chant to pump up the crowd and made the message
simple "1 - We are the People. 2 - A little bit Louder. 3 - We want
justice for the third world!!" The march went down Market St until it
reached Valencia and continued to grow in size. At 16th St. it seemed
like quite a few different folks were stopping, though a good deal of
people seemed to continue to march down towards 24th St., and the
planned die-in on Cesar Chavez St.(formerly Army St.).
