San Francisco Spells Out Message of Impeachment

Building on the momentum from the first “Beach Impeach” event on January 7 organizers expected a turnout of between 1,500 and 2,000. The larger crowd allowed organizers to add the NOW to the original Jan. 7 message. According to event organizer Brad Newsham, the message stretched 730 feet across and 100 feet high.

At 11:00 a.m. a helicopter flew over to take aerial photographs. And after 15 minutes Newsham gave the signal, waving a green flag informing protesters to transform their message into PEACE NOW! While another organizer implored passersby to “lie down on the beach and spell out what needs to happen.”

The women of Code Pink, dressed in their colors, occupied the C. While a group dressed in orange biohazard suits made up the exclamation mark.

The entire event took only about 90 minutes and the mood was festive. After the photography was complete protesters danced to the rhythms of a band of marimba players and free food was available. A number of television news outlets were on hand for the display.
