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
