Hi,

Currently we've got no crowd estimates for the size the central park rally, which is why the above feature says "thousands." We heard ten-thousand. Any ideas?

Freedom Ride aka Bike Bloc, was a ball. Very little police following the ride, many meet-ups with the march, and an outing of some goons on bikes.

There were many a smile on the faces we rode by.

Just one of 100,000 freedom and democracy efforts in Iraq by American war criminals.

Dear friends! The Inrenational Action Center in New York (members and volunteers) have spent 4 months organizing the anti-war protest ( Harlem-Central Park). I am very surprised that you have found New York's protest "de-centralized". It was VERY "centralized" and orgasnized by many who stoically devoted themselves to the anti-war struggle in the US.
The International Action Center ( chairman Ramsey Clark) was one of the major force in this organization, yet, you did not find it necessery even to mention this organization?
By the way, " No Draft" movement is the initiative of the former US solger who is also the member of IAC, direction his work from the IAC office.
Such the neglect usually adds to the people's
disappointments. Do you you need it more than it is already there?

IAC member Lara Crete

It was decentralized because your IAC rally wasn't the only game in time. Not everyone wants to stand around listening to Neo-Stalinists give speeches.

typo there...that should be "only game in town" not "time"

Any news on the 35 arrestees at the WRL/Catholic Worker demo?

Manhattan... "27 of the marchers moved into the traffic on Broadway and were arrested for “disorderly conduct.†All were released by early evening and will appear in court at 100 Centre St. in Manhattan in mid-April."

Brooklyn... "While most of the demonstrators rallied, read names of the war's dead, and leafleted across Flatbush from the recruiters, eight people crossed the street to demonstrate directly in front of the three (out of four) open doors to the recruitering offices and were arrested for 'disorderly conduct.' They were taken to a Brooklyn police precinct and were all released about six hours later with a court appearance date for April 26."

Bronx... "About 100 demonstrators vigiled, leafleted, and read names of the war dead in front of the closed recruiting offices at Fordham Road and Grand Concourse near Fordham University. There were no arrests."

Trey,

Why would you just announce that that's you in the picture? I assume you were talking about the picture of the handcuffed peace signs at the top of this article? Why don't you say something meaningful like why you were there? Or what the experience was like? Or what your advice is for future actions, Mr. Active Young America.

Always just trying to push you further,

Josh

p.s. give me a call at X4750

Its all very nice to demonstrate, large and small, but everyone knows that shutting down the warmachines armament manufacturies finally ends wars forever. ``No war machine no war.`` Canadas First Division to the arrival in 1917 of the doughboys of america.

As a young boy in, I lived under British illegal occupation in Kenya. In 1953, I almost lost my parents to the freedom fighters. The following year, my elder sister, brother and I, almost lost our lives when the British troops almost fired on us. Unites States should not be a blind follower of the UK arrogance around the world. US troops should immediately leave Iraq and immediate compensation to the Iraqi families in trillions should be paid to the survivors of the US holocaust in Iraq!

I just wanted to point out that it is not one country that is at fault for the state of the world and the awful things that are occuring world wide. To suggest that the U.S. is simply following British arrogance is to ignore the real problem, that of Big buisness and the governments they control (yes the British government is definitely one of those). Please don't bow to their love of the old divide and rule tactics. Let's continue to make these incredible shows of anti-war and anti neoliberalism in demo, sites like these and all other means possible, as citizens of the world.
