The antiwar rally and march on December 5 (and the one on December 2) was excellent. Thanks to the organizers, participants, and the downtown audience for making it all happen. Here's video:

So many people heard us. This was great. Hopefully we will have many more protests very soon, preferrably before Obama's NEXT escalation, which I suspect might come as early as summer 2010, if not sooner. We should protest a lot BEFORE then, to get in front of the government's prowar message machine.

As Fred says in another thread, there are plenty of weekly protests:

It would also be good to figure out how the Internet phenomenon of "trolling" could be used *in the real world* for the purpose of peace.

And what about Internet memes? Can they be made useful by the antiwar movement?
