LOS ANGELES: U.S. OUT OF IRAQ!
An estimated 20,000 to 25,000 marched in downtown Los Angeles on March 30 to demand "U.S. out of Iraq! Stop the war!"
Hundreds of community, labor, religious and grassroots organizations participated in a strong showing of outrage and opposition.
At a rally at the downtown Federal Building, speakers included Ron Kovic, Vietnam veteran and author of "Born on the Fourth of July"; television actor Mimi Kennedy; Michael Shahin of the Free Palestine Alliance; and California State Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg. Music was provided by hip-hop artist Will Be and folk performer Michelle Shocked. Magda Madrigal and John Parker of International ANSWER of Los Angeles co- chaired the rally.
Sponsors included Coalition for World Peace, Not in Our Name, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace, and Women's Global Strike.
