People packed the sidewalks to watch the annual San Francisco Pride Parade on Sunday June 30. Parade participants exchanged many high-fives and hugs with onlookers as they progressed down Market Street. For many, this year's Pride celebration was made more special by the Supreme Court's same-sex marriage rulings. (Deborah Svoboda / KQED)

Oakland Strike
City of Oakland and BART employees rallied in groups around Frank Ogawa Plaza. The city employees are also striking over pay and benefits. They chanted "Deanna Santana you're no good, treat your workers like you should." The city strike was only one day and shut down most city functions. Talks are scheduled to continue on Friday, July 5. (Deborah Svoboda / KQED)
