City Council member @councilorkanal.bsky.social: “There are going to be a lot of people here today that try to pit us against each other… I'm here to tell you that the only fight that we have is against the fascist empire, not ever against each other.”

People very slowly moving over to the street to begin a march. It’s taking a long time for anyone to move much because there are so many people. Unclear (to me) where the march is going but looks to be heading south on Naito.

(Btw, this marching band, Brassless Chaps, is great. Definitely keeping an antsy crowd entertained while they wait for the march to get going.)

As far as flags are concerned, there’s a lot of variety. In my current line of sight, there are many American flags (most right side up, a few upside down), LGBTQ+ pride flags, Palestine flags, a couple Mexican flags, and a Cascadia flag.

The march is beginning. Thousands and thousands headed south on Naito.

The scale of this is truly massive. The march has crossed the Hawthorne Bridge and there are still blocks and blocks of people marching on the west side of the river.
