S.F. Anti-war Rally - extended coverage
Hardworking Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi fires up the crowd before the parade:
Read about Saturday's parade below, courtesy of SFist Rita. Earlier in the day, there was a short rally with many speakers. See some photos after the jump.
Keynote speaker Carolyn Ho urged support for her son, 1st Lt. Ehren Watada, who faces court-martial beginning February 5 for refusing to deploy to Iraq last year.
Clarence Thomas (yes, Clarence Thomas) of Local 10, International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
The messianic Scott Munson shortly after throwing another batch of bogus bills in the air. His oversized money advertises various websites with theories about the truth of 9/11 but the free food was real enough, as the next photo will demonstrate.
See Frank. See Frank Chew. Chew Frank, chew!
Popular Supervisor Tom Ammiano was not originally scheduled to speak, but ended up being the closer.
Wording on the wristband promises "Extra Action". The marshal is here, let the parade begin!

Please was "Loose Change" free on the web for proof that 9/11 was an inside job!
It was a decent march, but we need a bigger crowd out there. The next march that was being advertised will be held on March 18th and is sponsored by the answer coalition.
Also, to all those of you out there who are not familiar with the Lt. Watada story, check it out at www.thankyoult.org or www.couragetoresist.org. Stay plugged in!
