ANSWER Anti-War Rally -- March 19, 2011

According to the media, about 500 braved the cold and wet to rally in U.N. Plaza to protest our government's warmongering efforts at the expense of our own education, labor and infrastructure.

My own estimate is slightly over 1,000 at U.N. Plaza, with about 200-300 joining us along the march route.

The protest was smaller than desired, but that was understandable given the weather conditions. Our spirit was strong, if a bit soaked.

Another anti-war protest (different sponsor) is planned for April 10, starting at Dolores Park at noon. Hope more of us will be there!
