Pro-Tibetan human rights activists (who also erected the billboard shown above) are organizing a rally in San Francisco 
this Tuesday, April 8, to be led by Richard Gere, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Tibetan community leaders.

    As China prepares to host the Olympics in August, the government is conducting the worst crackdown in Tibet since 
the 1960s Cultural Revolution. Come show your support for the Tibetan and Chinese people on the eve of the Beijing 
Olympic torch passing through San Francisco - the only stop in North America.

    Where: United Nations Plaza, at Market & Hyde, near Civic Center BART Rally 
& Speeches 6:00pm
    Culture / Music 7:15pm
    Candle Light Vigil 8:00pm

Here's a BBC article about clashes on the route of the Olympic torch, which for some reason, the comment interface is 
not allowing me to mark up.
