As Meteor Blades wrote in last night's Night Owls thread and the SF Chronicle is reporting today in Thousands protest Keystone XL pipeline, yesterday's turnout at the Forward on Climate rally in San Francisco was quite impressive, and the about 4000 people (5000 according to 350 Bay Area) who showed up were quite spirited, considering that it was just one of many side dishes to the main course taking place in Washington D.C.
Put together by 350 Bay Area and 350 Silicon Valley on pretty short notice, over 80 organizational partners signed on and helped make this event a huge success, and as always with these things in SF, a great party.
Of course, thanks to the great navajo, SF Kossacks got together for a meetup to bring up rally numbers and have a fun day together. After snacks at the MarketBar in the Ferry Building, ten of us walked over to the State Department Building at 1 Market, where we bumped into a few others Kossacks during the course of the rally.
