There's a Peace Train leaving, and you'll want to get on, or at least help send it off. Instead of War will be traveling to Chicago to join in the "Midwest Still Says No To War" March on Lake Shore Drive, sponsored by UFPJ and the March 20 Anti-War Organizing Coalition.
Saturday, March 20, marks the one year anniversary of the commencement of the Bush Administration's war on Iraq. One year and 8,000+ Iraqi lives later, Bush's dreaded Iraqi WMDs are nowhere to be found and American soldiers are still dying. On March 20, demonstrations will be held in cities across the U.S. and around the world in a Global Day of Action Against War and Occupation.
