That mother was also behind this effort:

Protesters Plan to Shut Down (San Francisco) Muni Service on Monday

A random group called the Humanists for Revolutionary Socialism is backing Monday's protest, dubbed "Kenneth Harding Jr. Transit Shut Down Day" and blames Muni's policies for Harding's death.
