San Francisco Vigil for Burmese People

These are some photos I took today at the San Francisco vigil for the people of Burma in front of the Chinese Consulate from 12 noon - 1 pm. The last image shows Jack Kornfield addressing the crowd. The turnout was really strong and it felt good to have a way of showing solidarity with the monks and people of Burma in this terrible time of crisis there. Internet connections were largely shut down in the last 24 hours so the blogs in Burma have been silenced for the moment--very eery.

There will be another peaceful demonstration in downtown San Francisco on Monday, October 1 at 12 noon at Justin Herman Plaza, which is at the end of Market St. (near Embarcadero BART). Wear red and show your solidarity with the monks of Burma if you come!
