Impeach Donald Trump billboard pops up in SF's Fisherman's Wharf

Among the sea lions, crab cocktails and swarms of tourists in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf neighborhood, a massive billboard featuring a steely-looking President Donald Trump popped up on Tuesday.

The billboard at Mason and Jefferson streets is emblazoned with the word "Impeach' and was paid for by the California-based Courage Campaign that erected a similar billboard on the Bay Bridge in summer 2017.

In a statement, the campaign said, "“Since the very beginning of his presidency, Donald Trump has committed innumerable, impeachable offenses -- from violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause to openly admitting that he fired FBI Director James Comey in order to obstruct the Russia investigation. Now, after using his position as President to blackmail Ukrainian leaders to manufacture political dirt on the Biden family, the case for the impeachment of Donald Trump on legal grounds is a no-brainer,” said Eddie Kurtz, Executive Director of Courage Campaign. “Our national nightmare must end. Trump must be impeached now.”

The 1 million-member Courage Campaign is a grassroots advocacy organization that has helped organize more than 60 small groups to form and take on progressive causes including LGBT equality, gun control and healthcare reform. The campaign provides these groups with the tools and framework to get out their messages.
