For those who assumed the Occupy movement had fizzled out in San Francisco, think again.
This Friday, Occupy Wall Street West -- a continuation of Occupy San Francisco -- plans to march through San Francisco's Financial District. According to a the group, more than 55 organizations, including the San Francisco Labor Council, Code Pink, Iraq Veterans Against the War and the Rainforest Action Network, will support Friday's march and attendance is expected to reach into the thousands.
"Friday's march is expected to be the largest Occupy Wall Street march that San Francisco has seen yet," said Occupy Wall Street West group member Stardust. According to Stardust, the movement has not gone away but has been gathering momentum.
Friday's events are timed to begin with the opening of the stock market and will include a demonstration at the Ninth District of Appeals in San Francisco, a march on the banks, speakers, a flash mob and a street party at Justin Herman Plaza.
