The perimeter looked like atsz hour. Police with metal barriers basically saying if you dont live close by theyre not letting you pass. Now earlier police told us that they would be keeping an eye on any popup event. Certainly many San FranciscoPolice Officers out here today. I wanted to show what you it looked like when the centre demonstratorsers laiden the street when they marnd from alamo square speakers addressed the crowd at 24th and mission. Where the traffic was blocked. There was tension at alamo square as centre demonstrators came facetoface with police. Some chanting let them them in a large group wanted to join. Eventually they were will let in and joined the group here to protest Patriot Prayers planned press conference that didnt happen. Alamo square was fenced off and closed surrounding streets blocked we spoke with a demonstrators and a neighbor. We did have a sizable demonstration in the first location. In the second location they want diss vis visibility and attention. Theyre not get going theyre running. I think very odd getting up getting in my car having to go through a blockade to get out. But definitely made me feel safer made me feel the city was coming together too. Now one street closer we were at at earlier where the neighbors were working to find out whether marchers or anyone might double back. When we were there they did not police said they did not have a clear answer of how long that fencing would be up at alamo square but they said they were certainly keeping an eye out for popup demonstrations or any events with folks trying to get back into the area. I wanted to show you across the street. Weve sen seen this at a number of homes in the area signs like this. This one not nazis get out of the fill mother go away. You see a number of signs at hanging at homes here. But at this point it is quiet and theyre saying if you dont live close by theyre not letting folks in reporting live in San Francisco, kristy smith, nbc bay area nuss.

Reporter well this is an event that started wrapping up a few minutes ago. And its an event that was planned over just the last few days. Community members along with some of the members of the board of the city supervisors helped put this together as a response to the altright demonstration planned. For much of the afternoon civic center had become a place for impromptu dance parties and a spot to watch local bands. City leaders have been publicly voicing opposition to the Patriot Prayer event all week. Behind the scenes they were also helping Community Leaders who were trying to plan responses to those altright groups. Responses that celebrated the citys diversity. Groups started out in different parts of the San Francisco marched to civic center one of the group started in the castro. Long time Guy Community organizer cleeb jones told me he knew his community needed to plan appropriate nonviolent response. I knew immediately that their effort was to instill fear. They want to make us frightened. And we arent afraid of them. Reporter now the demonstration in the castro of at least a couple thousand people dlud a wide innovator of participants one of the efforts of leaders in the group is to begin raising money to help support Jewish Centers and immigrant rights groups. Groups that jones stays are being targeted by altright altright groups and neonazis. Now as you can see here as civic center a lot of the police are starting to demobilize. In fact theyve started washing the streets here as this event starts wrapping up as kristy smith mentioned a little bit earlier, the police will still be on stand by throughout the rest of the afternoon just in case there are some other popup events throughout the city.

The group has change their plans several time first it was a rally at kristy field then moved to alamo square and nonto pacifica where thom jensen continues the team coverage. Organizers say they were forced to cancelled because they were unfairly labeled at racist.

They said what we essentially did was cause the alt left dsh the extremist left groups to target them. And they they felt safe only coming here to exercise their free speech. If you look back on the way today. From a make shift podium in a pacifica part. We cant let people silence either are others especially with a positive message. Patriot Prayer Foundation and his followers say Dishonest Media lying democratic politicians and violent liberal activists are trying to silence his movement and followers by labeling them racist.
