Pro-Palestinian protesters were out in full force Wednesday as Vice President Kamala Harris made stops for fundraising events in Oakland and San Francisco.

As the re-election campaign ramps for Biden and Harris, the loud calls for a ceasefire from activists aren't subsiding.

Introducing Harris at Mission District funeral parlor-turned concert venue the Chapel was Manny Yekutiel, who owns a local restaurant that hosts political talks and events. He rallied the crowd by asking if they were going to stand by the vice president in the face of negativity and darkness and hatred and division. The crowd replied with a shout, "Yes!"
