"My favorite speaker outside the Federal Building blasted Trump for his illegal war of aggression against Iran, and noted that this destabilization of Iran and other attacks against it in the past were motivated by American oil interests. Besides not wanting war, San Franciscans don't need more oil or carbon emissions overheating the planet, especially this February, which was far too warm in San Francisco due to climate change."
"One chant during the Saturday march demanded: 'No boots on the ground, no bombs in the air. US out of everywhere.' Unfortunately, there are still a lot of bombs in the American and Israeli arsenals, and manufacturers will no doubt produce more for a substantial profit."
"The gatherings brought together people from many different backgrounds and organizations, including ANSWER, DSA, and Veterans for Peace, and American Muslims for Palestine. The Monday rally took some time for Muslim prayer."
San Francisco residents organized two major antiwar protests on February 28 and March 2 in response to American and Israeli bombing of Iran. Hundreds gathered outside the Federal Building and at Embarcadero, with speakers criticizing the war as illegal aggression motivated by oil interests. Protesters highlighted connections between military spending and climate change, noting February's unseasonable warmth. The rallies united diverse groups including ANSWER, DSA, Veterans for Peace, and American Muslims for Palestine, with Monday's gathering including Muslim prayer. Marchers carried signs opposing war spending, ICE enforcement, and imperialism, chanting demands for U.S. military withdrawal globally. Protesters noted the absence of political leaders' children in military service.
