More than 300 people brought their flags, banners and life-size puppets to San Francisco's Justin Herman Plaza today to demonstrate against the Qatar World Trade Organization meeting. 

Protest organizers said the San Francisco demonstration was just one of an unknown number of others simultaneously occurring in at least 36 countries around the world.  

Protesters marched to an police barricade at the headquarters of the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. 

For more than an hour, the demonstrators shouted insults at PG&E officials and employees who brought their lunches outside to watch the action from behind the barricades.
