Thousands marched for Bernie Sanders' platform and against the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia today and many more rallied in solidarity across the nation. In San Francisco demonstrators marched from 24th at Mission to Florida St. where they arrived just in time to hear news they cheered.

As the march turned the corner at Florida and 19th for the rally at La Floridita, the Raging Grannies handed off the mic to an organizer who shouted the breaking news--Wasserman Schultz resigning as party leader!

Bernie Sanders and supporters have long been critical of Wasserman Schultz, but it seems that the leaked emails of misdoings by the Democratic Party, some of which show the supposedly neutral party leaders working against former nominee Bernie Sanders, created the tipping point. Tens of thousands will protest the DNC in Philadelphia this week.
