BOSTON PROTEST LARGEST SINCE VIETNAM ERA
In what is believed to be the largest anti-war demonstration in Boston since the Vietnam War, more than 25,000 rain-soaked protesters converged on Boston Commons March 29. They marched throughout downtown demanding an end to the brutal U.S. war against Iraq. The demonstration was called by the Boston chapter of the United for Peace and Justice coalition.
Moonanum James (pictured above), co-leader of United American Indians of New England, addressed the rally on behalf of the International ANSWER coalition--Act Now to Stop War and End Racism--an endorser of the event.
James urged the crowd to mobilize for the April 12 national protest at the White House to demand: "Stop the war on Iraq" and "Bring the troops home now!"
