excerpted from adc.org This coming Saturday, February 15, is an international day of peaceful protest to oppose a war with Iraq. Hundreds of thousands or potentially millions will be gathering for events that will be held in 528 cities across the globe to say NO to war. This could be the largest outpouring of anti-war sentiment in history.
Here in the United States, a massive rally will be held in New York City at 49th Street and 1st Avenue at 12 noon. The rally is organized by the United for Peace and Justice campaign, which has over 200 peace and justice groups as part of its network. All are united in the effort to prevent another war with Iraq, another disaster for the long-suffering Iraqi people. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is part of this coalition and members from across the nation will be saying no to war with Iraq. ADC strongly encourages its members, chapters, and supporters to take part in the New York City rally, the San Francisco rally, or any rally in their area.

The New York demonstration will also be broadcast worldwide on Pacifica radio stations, satellite television and shortwave radio (Radio for Peace International).
