Super Bowl protests in S.F.: Tent city, Mario Woods march planned

http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Super-Bowl-protests-in-S-F-Tent-city-Mario-6791667.php

It’s the Super Bowl of Protests week.

From homelessness and immigration to African American rights and urban farming, nearly every protest cause that ever snatched a headline is about to be aired out loud and long in the Bay Area. ...

Foremost among the plans are a march in San Francisco on Saturday protesting the police killing last month of stabbing suspect Mario Woods, and a downtown tent city of homeless people to be built Wednesday calling for housing rights. The Woods march begins at 11 a.m. at Union Square, and ends at the carnival-like Super Bowl City at the foot of Market Street.

The driving force for all this planning has very little to do with the Super Bowl itself. What’s inspiring people to pick up picket signs is all the media attention descending on the Bay Area.


Of course, the Superb Owl itself is 45 miles south in Santa Clara. But down here? (crickets)
