People Over Billionaires March Moves Through Pacific Heights, Targets Tech Donors

Organizers used the action to press a People First platform focused on taxing the wealthy plus affordability, worker and immigrant protections, and climate action.

Overview

  • About 200 people marched through San Francisco’s Pacific Heights on Saturday as part of a coordinated People Over Billionaires day of action.
  • The route targeted homes tied to national politics, including those of Larry Ellison, David Sacks, and Shaun Maguire, with brief traffic stoppages and a line dance outside Sacks’ residence.
  • Participants from labor and community groups called for higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy to fund affordability measures and protections for workers and immigrants, along with climate action.
  • Organizers said related marches planned for Los Angeles and San Diego were postponed to December 6 because of rain.
  • The San Francisco event featured chants, music, and street theater and concluded without major incidents reported.
