Progressive Democrat Issue 113: NYC FOCUS: Ending the War

This comes from Daily Gotham:

As the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the war in Iraq nears (What gift should we send President Bush for such a day in infamy? rotten eggs, tomatoes?) the opportunities for protest are increasing -- perhaps beyond necessity. Two chief chances are Sunday March 18, and Monday March 19, 2007

On Sunday, United For Peace & Justice, the large, anti-war coalition, is holding a march up 6th Ave. from 36th Street and ending at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza at 47th Street and 1st Avenue, opposite the United Nations where there will be a peace fair (What’s a peace fair? A chance to buy buttons, read leaflets, talk to other anti-warriors, schmooze.). Click here for details.

Joining the main march, will be bike riders like me bicycling from points all over NYC. To bike for peace click here.

Monday evening, Monday March 19th the actual anniversary, Move on members in NYC will hold many candle light vigils. Here are two:

Union Square, Manhattan, South end of Union Square, 14th St. between 4th and Union Sq. West. We'll be standing on the west side of the terrace steps, near the subway entrance. Monday, March 19th at 7:00PM
