SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Anti-Trump protesters in San Francisco impacted some of the city’s best-known sites, including the Golden Gate Bridge where thousands formed a human chain and chanted “Love Trumps hate.”

Protesters at the Golden Gate Bridge wore purple ponchos which organizers said was a color symbolizing anti-bullying.

Organizer Lisa Sato said Friday’s event attracted about 3,600 people and spanned the length of the bridge. Protesters filled the bridge’s pedestrian walkway and waved to cars driving past, many of which responded by honking.

In the city’s financial district, a few hundred protesters blocked traffic outside an office building partly owned by Trump on California Street. Some carried Trump pinatas and rainbow and Mexican flags.

The protest disrupted traffic on one of the main lines of the San Francisco cable car, which runs along California Street. By midday, traffic resumed.

Both rallies were peaceful and the mood was festive, despite protesters’ objection to the man who took office.

Some protests to Trump’s inauguration in the country were not peaceful, and San Francisco police made 11 arrests.

“We wanted to plant the seeds of action. This was not a time to protest,” Morris said.

Demonstrators are expected to link arms and form a human chain across the entire Golden Gate Bridge Friday.

Sausalito-based Bridge Together Golden Gate said the two-hour event beginning at 10 a.m., an hour after President Donald Trump was inaugurated, is not considered a protest, but an expression of unity.

The human chain will stretch from Marin County to San Francisco along the pedestrian walkway.

“We will stand together in unity and love as a shining beacon of inclusiveness and democracy to prove that we are stronger together, that love trumps hate, and that the hateful rhetoric of the incoming president and his administration will not be tolerated,” a statement from organizers Bridge Together Golden Gate said.

“It’s intentionally not a protest. We are not in conflict. We are not in confrontation. and it’s a specific reaction to all of the hateful and divisive rhetoric that has been thrown at us over the last 18 months,” a demonstrator told KRON4 News.

At least one of the parking lots at the welcome center will be closed to private cars.
