Anti-War protest on March 20?

[ihaveaquestion]

About a month ago I read about nationwide protests planned for March 20? I don't remember where I saw it and I wonder if it's really happening. Does anyone know anything?

1. All over the country...Chicago DUers

We live in Springfield and my husband, kids and I are trying to arrange to go to the one in Chicago.

12 noon * Saturday * March 20th
March step-off from Michigan & Pearson, Chicago, IL
One block north of Chicago Ave.


If at all possible, I would love to meet-up with anyone from DU who is planning on attending. My younger sister lives in downtown Chicago!

3. I know there are a few Chicago area DUers. I would love to meet

some of you! Maybe in the next couple weeks everyone can work something out at least to meet-up for a few minutes!

6. I'll be there!

Would love to touch base with both of you. We'll plan something as the date gets closer.

BTW, we're probably going to have a social gathering downtown on Feb. 29. Interested? Let me know.

8. Yes, please!

We will work something out. Will let you know as our plans become finalized. I am not very familiar with downtown Chicago so we will have to be very specific in our plans!

Edit: I know there are more Chicago people on DU. As the date gets closer, we will have to start a post to get the Chicago people's attention. I think there are some from Bloomington at DU as well. That is not far.

9. www.internationalanswer.org is the place to look for March 20

The ANSWER coalition and the UFPJ coalition have joined together to build for March 20th anti-war rallies in cities all over the US. Rallies are also being built all over the world, so it will be a world-wide mobilization like on Feb 15, 2003. The ANSWER website has details on local rallies everywhere.

Please get involved!

Here in the Twin Cities check with the Anti War Committee for plans.

10. It's a global protest

Our anti-war coalition in Paris, which includes Americans Against the War http://www.aawfrance.net, is meeting next week to set our final plans.
