March 20th Anti-war protest/concert

My voice was shredded from leading chants during the march, but I managed to stir up some energy I think. Steph was moved to tears, Jess said. And Guante seemed to like my stuff. I did mention that a wrote Make New Friends in response to seeing him perform for the first time. He said he was flattered!

Reportback on yesterdays protest “Let Marjah Live!”

Hey gang,

Good demo! The emergency response rally, called by IPAC yesterday in response to U.S. forces attacking Marjah (a city with 80,000 civilian residents), went really well! There was a good turn out and good weather (thats big for demos in Feb!)

70-80 demonstrators held banners and signs to heavy traffic in front of Amy Klobuchar’s office on Washington ave. (note: good location for this) Traffic showed good natured support, as speakers called for an end to the war and to immediately stop this attack which will result in devastating civilian casualties.
