No More War: Protests Nationwide Today

Today's DC protest. Click for slideshow of more.

UPDATE 1.28.07: The LA Times is reporting the DC crowd as "almost 100,000"!
Good to see there's a large turnout at today's bring the troops home march in DC, organized by United for Peace and Justice. The media is reporting numbers in the "tens of thousands." CSPAN had live TV coverage this morning that will probably be repeated, and should have video on their website later. Activities will continue on Monday when activists will be walking the halls of Congress lobbying members to take action to stop the escalation and start bringing the troops home. Marches and rallies are also taking place in communities all over America today, including right here in Albuquerque. Large events are empowering but sometimes I think it's the smaller, local events that can be the most effective, tied to the communities where they take place.

If you have comments about protest events you attended today, add them here. If you have photos from an event and would like to see them posted here, send them to me by clicking on the Email Me link on the upper left-hand corner of our main page. In the meantime, here are some photos sent in by Stephen Fettig of a march in Los Alamos earlier this month, when there were thousands of demonstrations all across the nation to stop more troops from being sent to Iraq.

KRQE seems to be the only TV station with a good video story about the ABQ march posted on their web site. Here:

They've show footage of the DC march on many news stories on national news this weekend. I'm surprised but delighted.
