Pledge of Resistance leads other organizations including the Bay Area Religious Task Force, Center for International Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, and Trece to occupy the El Salvador Consulate in San Francisco, commemorating the anniversary of the brutal murder of six Jesuit priests and two women. Protesters drop a banner from the consulate's balcony and occupy the front offices, calling for an end to US backed Death Squad violence in El Salvador, the overthrow of the ARENA government, and an end to US intervention in Central America. Several members of the demonstration chain themselves to the desks and chairs in the office, while other protesters demonstrate outside of the consulate.
