Marching Again


The week-long encampment in Washington, September 22-
29, to stop the war at home and abroad, culminated in the
September 29th rally and march in which many community
organizations participated. Signs demanded justice for the
Jena Six and an end to foreclosures and evictions. There
was a FEMA trailer, signifying the continuing plight of the
Katrina refugees, and the Vietnam Veterans Against the
Iraqui War bus.See full coverage of the events here.
along with information about the upcoming October 27th
regional actions to demand an end to the U.S. occupation
of Iraq.

I marched on September 29th, traveled on a bus
chartered by Atlanta IAC (International Answer Center).
The photos above show some of my fellow passengers
waiting for the bus to pick us up for the trip back to
Atlanta.

"It's all about oil," Alan Greenspan said.
He should have said, "It's all about money"
The billions spent on the war are needed here
for adequate health care and low-interest
mortgages so people wouldn't have to lose their
homes, for funding libraries and building bridges
that won't collapse, and on and on and on.
