‘People Over Billionaires’ March Targets Tech Elite in San Francisco

Organizers framed the Pacific Heights march as part of a People First push to curb billionaire influence.

Overview

  • About 200 protesters marched through Pacific Heights after assembling at Alta Plaza Park.
  • A coalition of labor and community groups, including the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, led the action.
  • Participants advanced a People First platform calling for taxing the rich, tackling affordability, protecting immigrant and worker rights, and addressing climate change.
  • Demonstrators blocked some intersections, used street theater and costumes, paused at Larry Ellison’s home, and danced outside David Sacks’ house.
  • Related marches planned in Los Angeles and San Diego were postponed to December 6 because of rain, with organizers citing recent momentum from California’s Proposition 50.
