San Francisco Protest Against the IMF (International Monetary Fund)

by Sam Brown (revolutionarysam [at] yahoo.com)
Friday, October 19th was not an ordinary day... In heart of the financial district in downtown San Francisco a group of activists demonstrated against the policies of the IMF. Organized by Globalize this! the turn out included several students and protestors that converged near the Montgomery BART while speeches were made, drums were played, and an unpermitted march through the financial district took place. For a few hours people organized against capitalist hegemony while expressing a fervent message that would resound loudly. This demonstration was a solidarity protest with the demonstrations going on in Washington, D.C. to stop the IMF meeting.
