""The goal is to stand in solidarity with the Iranian people, speak out against war, and let the world know that San Francisco does not stand for illegal war or genocide," said Andrew Yousef with Democratic Socialists of America."
""We're here today because we reject the U.S. war on Iran. Our tax dollar money should be going into education, healthcare, housing; it should not be going into genocidal wars abroad," said Suzanne Ali with the Bay Area Palestinian Youth Movement."
""What the protests do is they inspire people who have not taken political action before. They educate people. And I also think it's just good for camaraderie, that we're not alone during these intense times," said Madron, an Oakland resident."
Protesters marched through San Francisco's Market Street, calling for an end to the war with Iran. The demonstration aimed to show solidarity with the Iranian people and oppose illegal wars. Participants expressed that U.S. tax dollars should fund education and healthcare rather than military actions. The rally occurred during a two-week ceasefire, which some attendees felt was insufficient. Veterans and community members joined to emphasize the need for political action and to foster camaraderie among those opposed to the war.
