Greif, anger and pleas for help, from food to weapons, dominated the crowd of about 2000 gathered at the San Francisco Embarcadero in support of Ukraine. Ukraine was invaded by Russia four days ago.The crowd was largely from San Francisco's large Ukrainian community though Russians were there too to express support for Ukraine and contempt for Russian President Putin.
Many people availed themselves of the open mic and the air was filled Ukianian speech and song.
Another rally is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, at San Francisco City Hall.
Early war news seems to indicate that the invading Russians are meeting more resistance than expected from both Ukraine's military and civilians. As usual, civilians are dying in wars made by politicians. While the world is condemning Putin, responsibility for this war also rests with the US and its European allies.
As noted by French politican, Jean-Luc Melonchon, "Keep pushing NATO, a hostile military alliance, up against Russia's borders, and you will eventually have a war."

Indigenous People have been the Ukrainians far too Long as this Area (Ohlone Land Un-federally Recognize People which is Ethnic Cleansing & a REAL Hate Crime-I am Accused of) as NOT only the Aggressor Mr. Putin w/ Russia Military (People of Russia seem NOT to be on Putin's side) as they did Here w/ Colonizer Junipero Serra (99 % Genocide of Ohlone) by Force which Eerily has a Armageddon tinge to it. In the Age of Cayuga we have been accustom to seeing refugees fleeing from United Snakes of American or Russia (Afghan. Invasion) Bombs or operations of freeing the People from their Natural Resources because that's what this about. The Masonic ODOR playing both sides w/ their Colors the Same as NOTICE EVIL Russia is RED, WHITE & Blue the same as United SNAKES of American who's CRIMES against us Indigenous Untold or Dropped from OUR Educational system. Putin's Threat of the USE of NUCLEAR Weapons has a Chilling affect on us who remember who & where these Weapons were Invented as UC Berkeley is the Birth Place of the NUCLEAR Age & Bomb (Oppenheimer, Seaborg, Teller & Lawrence ALL BERKELEY Residents.
