Activists in San Francisco rallied against the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders’ conference, protesting corporate profits, environmental issues, poor working conditions, and the Israel-Hamas war. The No to APEC coalition, consisting of over 100 grassroots groups, criticizes trade deals at such summits for exploiting workers. While world leaders are unlikely to directly witness the protests due to strict security zones, demonstrators aim to make their voices heard. The protests coincide with the APEC summit, drawing attention to various global issues, including environmental concerns and the conflict in the Middle East.
