Thousands of people gathered outside San Francisco’s Mission
High School Wednesday afternoon for a peaceful protest, resulting in several streets
in the area being closed.
The demonstration, organized by the group Nopeacenojustice
San Francisco, is part of nationwide protests after George Floyd, an unarmed black
man, died in the custody of Minneapolis police last week.
Wednesday’s protest began at 4 p.m. on 18th Street, just
outside the high school. Thousands took to the streets as well as nearby
Dolores Park. The protesters are set to march to the Mission Police Station at
17th and Valencia streets, according to organizers.
The city’s 8 p.m. curfew, which began Sunday to prevent
looting, remains in effect and is set to expire Thursday morning at 5 a.m.,
according to Mayor London Breed.
