ARRESTS AT THE WHITE HOUSE Police arrested some 25 women in Washington, D.C., on March 8-- International Women's Day--charging they crossed a police line in front of the White House. They included noted authors Alice Walker and Maxine Hong Kingston, magazine publisher Nina Utne, founding Director of Global Exchange Medea Benjamin, and Pacifica radio journalist Amy Goodman. Those arrested were among thousands of women and supporters who marched to protest the Bush administration's plans to Invade Iraq. Code Pink organized the demonstration. The name spoofs the color-coded "national security" alerts. --Leslie Feinberg - END - (Copyright Workers World Service: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this document, but changing it is not allowed.
