Last week I posted photos of a chill afternoon at San Francisco’s Alamo Square Park.
This week Alamo Square Park played host to a different sort of event:
“Counter-protesters converged on San Francisco’s Alamo Square Saturday afternoon even after local officials had called off a planned and permit-granted protest by right-wing group Patriot Prayer the day before.”
I love San Francisco.
We like to start our anti-fascist marches with a group hug:
The Speaker: “I want you to go right up to that person and give that person a big ass hug!”
I couldn’t get into Alamo Square Park; it was packed and marchers were still gathering.

The next time a Trump drone says ‘antifa thug’ send out this picture:
Unite against racism:
Demonstrate empathy:
Black Lives Matter!

I heard about this counter-protest on Facebook. I’m happy to say that San Francisco has now restored a little bit of my hope in the US. I’m really proud of you and everyone else who turned out to make it clear that you won’t tolerate fascists and nazis.

The more we all bring this message, making sure that folk understand that Nazis are not per definition German, the better.xx

Agreed. Nazi may be evolving into shorthand for fascism but the German people did not invent it; every culture is vulnerable to degenerating into fascism.
