Protesters this morning are rallying outside the headquarters of Chevron in San Ramon to object to what they say is the oil giant's role in driving the war in Iraq.

This morning's protest comes after rallies across the Bay Area this weekend to protest the U.S. involvement in the war and as another group of protestors prepares for a die-in in downtown San Francisco at noon today.

Also at noon today, an anti-war rally outside the San Francisco offices of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the Federal Building is expected to draw activists and politicians including Daniel Ellsberg, former San Francisco Supervisor Matt Gonzalez, Rabbi Michael Lerner and San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi.

The Federal Building is located at 450 Golden Gate Ave.
