Report on the solidarity rally in San Francisco

In solidarity with the tens of thousands of demonstrators at the borders (San Diego/Tijuana, Buffalo, Seattle, Vermont) and inside Quebec and Montreal, about 500 people (at its peak) marched through the Mission neighborhood in San Francisco, chanting "Human Need, Not Corporate Greed," and "Amnesty for All, Tear Down the Borders, Wall by Wall."

The protest was filled with people eager to talk about how to fight Bush's corporate agenda and to build the anti-globalization movement. Speakers made the links between the international corporate demand for privitazation, deregulation and union-busting and local politics -- raging against the PG & E (energy) bailout, gentrification and stock market driven layoffs. In short, the rally made concrete ourlinks to the international anti-globalization movement!

The rally was spirited, extremely political -- and entirely non-violent!

Solidarity!

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.
