This post uses a gift link, but some people do seem to be prompted to register. I can’t change SF Chronicle policy about that. They also have a history of sending lawyers after people who post archive.today links to their articles, so whatever you do, don’t plug the URL into that site.
… what? First, how could you possibly “experience” that? Are you recording every single attendee and then going to every single organization and informal collection of people doing mutual aid and organizing to check to see who shows up? That’s literally impossible on multiple levels. At best you could say that about the people you personally know.
