Did anyone participate in any of yesterday's Iran Peace marches?

There were several posts last week about the planned marches, but I can't find any news about any of them. If you attended or have any news about one in your area, could you share some news with us?

earlier this week, but unfortunately I caught a cold that laid me low for a few days and by yesterday, I still didn't feel well enough to get out and get wet. It was rainy here in Nashville.

There was an article in the Tennessean this morning about the teach in on the Plaza. Apparently about 25 folks turned out.

all mentioned about two dozen people showing up.

PressTV from Iran said there were "several hundred" in NY, but their video didn't really seem to show those numbers.

In any case, it doesn't seem to have caught the attention of the national media.

I read it. An IMPORTANT event, but focused only on the potential Iran war and American imperialism.
