I just thought I would follow up with a couple of key items that I heard while listening to the speakers. The first is that the SF board of supervisors is planning on voting Tuesday for a resolution condemning Iraq, joining many other cities in pursuing this course and showing that local politicians can and do think globally. Second, the International ANSWER folks who organized the rally hired a helicopter this time to take video footage. This is their answer to a lack of coverage and a media tendency to downplay the numbers. I am really looking forward to seeing this footage which should convey how massive this event was. I was really quite impressed with their organization of the event which in general, with the exception of the "breakaway march", was well handled. Interestingly enough the crowd was very diverse and clearly shows that resistance to the war in Iraq is filtering through many walks of life. Resist War. Resist the War on Iraq. |
