Justice for Mario Woods protesters taking their message to SuperBowl City

Children, youth, community and faith leaders took their message to SuperBowl City. SuperBowl City is an area set-up for football fans to mingle, listen to music and check out some of the technology offered by various commercial cell phone companies. Free concerts are also scheduled to occur at SuperBowl City. SuperBowl City takes up a lot of park space along the Embarcadero, and has displaced the homeless. It is common knowledge many residents in San Francisco don't want the SuperBowl events to occur in San Francisco because the set-up of it has relocated public transportation, caused massive traffic gridlock, and has negatively effected workers.

Justice for Mario Woods protesters gathered in Union Square and marched to SuperBowl City along Market Street. The minute the protesters entered onto Market Street the policed immediately began issuing commands "this is an un-permitted, or unlawful march. If you do not get on the sidewalk you will be subject to arrest."

The group was stopped by a police line one block from SuperBowl City. They were ordered off the street by SFPD. Eventually the protesters were able to get to SuperBowl City. Some of them stayed behind at 1st and Market chanting and blocking the street.
