As planned, another protest is on its way down Market Street, in opposition to today's inauguration of President Donald Trump. 

The ANSWER Coalition-sponsored demonstration started with a 5pm rally at UN Plaza, and began heading westbound on Market just after 6pm. It's currently near Larkin Street, and buses have come to a standstill. Marchers on the ground estimate the crowd at over a thousand people.
