The San Franciso occupation in Justin Herman Plaza joined a march with banners declaring that immigrants are part of the 99%. Camp residents, together with supporters in immigrant rights organisations and unions, marched up Market Street in a show of unity. Prior to the march, they held a General Assembly to discuss possible actions if the city moves to evict the encampment, as has happened to other occupations across the United States.
