Police estimated that more than 100,000 marchers came from all over the Chicago area, many carrying -- or wearing -- Mexican and American flags. The protest was spirited, but peaceful, and there were no reported arrests or incidents.

A police estimate of 100,000! Must have been more. Go, Chicago!!!!
Start thinking about next Saturday. There is an antiwar march at the Federal Building in Downtown Seattle starting at 1 p.m. Come out with Stand Up Seattle and support Kevin Benderman, the Conscientious Objector in the Ft. Lewis Brig. We're building another bannering at Ft. Lewis on March 25th.
SIRATYST (Stuff I Read and Thought You Should Too) “Either the triumph of imperialism and the destruction of all culture, and, as in ancient Rome, depopulation, desolation, degeneration, a vast cemetery; OR, the VICTORY OF SOCIALISM, that is, the conscious struggle of the international proletariat against imperialism.” Rosa Luxemburg
