Soon after Valencia Street businesses were vandalized during a protest last spring, donations started rolling in to help with repairs. To date, however, most of the money has not been claimed.
On April 30, a peaceful pre-May Day gathering at Dolores Park turned violent when a small group of protesters started breaking windows on cars and businesses. The Mission police station was paint-bombed.
Two months later, only two businesses have come forward to claim their share of the two funds that were established: one totalling $10,000 from 204 generous donors, the other $25,000 from Wells Fargo.
