We had 100,000 on October 26, 2002 and we had 200,000 at 2 maches a week apart in January 1991 during the last Persian Gulf massacre. Considering we have about 11 million people in Northern California, how about working for 1 million people marching for peace in San Francisco?

With your help in the form of financial contributions, labor and or time, we can do it.

RAIN OR SHINE, WE WILL MARCH FOR PEACE. If it rains, bring your rain gear and hopefully we will march under 1 million umbrellas!
