Downtown Santa Rosa's Colorful Protest Against the 1 Percent
Some 2,000 protesters self-identified with the 99 percent excluded from Wall Street wealth showed up to protest, sing, chant and dance
Gathering at 2 p.m. near the Santa Rosa City Hall, some 2,000 protestors demonstrated their support of the today with marches, songs, chants and speeches.
The crowd made a largely orderly march around the nearby financial institutions, including Bank of America and Citibank, carrying their message of frustration to the streets. Traffic was slow through the downtown area but most marchers obeyed the Walk / Don't Walk lights to allow automobiles to continue unhindered.
