More than double the attendance from last year. Wish we would have had 100,000.

I am proud of those that showed up all around the nation and the world. Thank you, peace activists!

Worldwide protests as war enters 4th year
Demonstrations demanded that all troops be withdrawn.

In Minneapolis, protesters took up half of Hennepin Avenue as they marched from Lagoon Avenue in Uptown to the Basilica of St. Mary at the edge of downtown, waving signs with slogans such as "Impeach Bush" and "Support Our Troops. Bring Them Home Now!" Police estimated there were 3,500 marchers; march organizers put the number at about 4,200.

Organizers said about 3,000 Minnesotans rallied Saturday in Minneapolis to protest the U.S. war in Iraq, with many saying that as the third anniversary of the invasion approaches, apathy has become their second front.
