The anti-war demonstration began Sunday morning with an 11 o’clock rally at Justin Herman Plaza at the Embarcadero in San Francisco.
At around noon, the march began up Market Street toward the City Center Plaza.
Along the way, Chronicle photographers captured the sights — and signs — throughout the day.

Protesters, including actor Danny Glover, writer Alice Walker and singers Bonnie Raitt and Joan Baez, tied the San Francisco event to a worldwide series of demonstrations held Saturday around the world.
“We know that we have not been shown enough evidence for a preemptive strike,” Raitt said. “There are a million people around the globe who have shown they feel the same way.”
Joan Baez was wonderful — and in addition she said when people ask her what’s different today from the vietnam war protests she said: people today are SO better organized,they are much more creative with signage etc, and most impt they started early – BEFORE a war, where hopefully they can prevent it, not just stop one already in progress.

She and Bonnie Raitt did a duet… but for me the highlight was hearing Bonnie Raitt belt out her version of Steven Stills’ ‘For What It’s Worth’ (stop, children, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s going down) — her voice is so powerful and visceral. It was beautiful.

Celebrates The Music Of An Exciting Jazz Master
Raitt contributed to a new album, If You're Going To The City: A Tribute To Mose Allison, which celebrates the late singer and pianist, who famously blended the rough-edged blues of the Mississippi Delta with the 1950s jazz of New York City.
NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro talks to Bonnie Raitt about her friendship with the Mose Allison. They're also joined by Amy Allison — his daughter, who executive produced the album — about selecting an unexpected list of artists to contribute songs to the album.
