WASHINGTON – Peace activists will march around the White House and the Justice Department on Saturday morning to protest the Bush administration's war agenda, march organizers said Tuesday.
“This Saturday, tens of thousands of people will gather in Washington to demand an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq,” said Leslie Cagan, national coordinator of United for Peace and Justice. “It is time to bring our troops home and end this war.”
United for Peace and Justice and Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) are the two major anti-war coalitions organizing what they claim will be “the largest” anti-war demonstration since President Bush declared combat in Iraq over in May.
