Image: Families Belong Together - San Francisco Rally - Photo - 27 (28250182117)

Description: Thousands of people gathered in San Francisco for “Families Belong Together”, a protest against the Trump regime’s cruel and inhumane immigration policies. This national day of action took place on June 30, 2018 and was organized by MoveOn, with local partners Indivisible San Francisco, Women's March SF and many more Bay Area civic groups. The morning march started at 10am in Dolores Park and ended in front of San Francisco’s Civic Center, where a rally was held from 11am to 1pm. These photos are from the rally only. People from diverse ethnic backgrounds participated in this rally, from latinos to muslims and asian-americans. Musicians included folk singer Joan Baez, who led a sing-along of “De Colores”, along with rapper Gina Madrid and singers of all ages. Speakers represented a wide variety of community voices, as well as elected officials such as Mayor Mark Farrell and Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer. Many of our friends joined this rally, including Sheri Cooper, Clancy Bounds, Priscilla Wheeler, Evelyn Messinger and members of the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN). People held many creative signs demanding that we reunite families torn apart by our racist government, end their detention and abolish ICE, which carries out the Trump’s “zero tolerance” policies. Others participants focused on defeating Republicans in the midterm elections and taking action to impeach Trump and his accomplices. "Families Belong Together" brought us all closer together, inspired and informed us, and energized us to push back against hate and racism -- through lpeaceful resistance. Photos by Fabrice Florin.
