Thousands upon thousands gathered on the streets of New York Saturday, despite a few inches of rain, to protest the Iraq War. Protesters gathered on Broadway, from the north end of Union Square up to 23rd Street, for a rally, followed by a march down Broadway and a left on Worth Street to Foley Square, where there was another informal rally.

In historically conservative Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, a grassroots anti-war group held a Peace Fair two Saturdays ago in the parking lot of the Bay Ridge United Methodist Church. Sponsored by the Bay Ridge Neighbors for Peace, the fair featured tables with literature and talkative staff from several anti-war groups, such as The World Can’t Wait, The Military Project and The International Socialist Organization. Many local activists spoke, and there was live music as well from local residents and a local chapter of the Raging Grannies.
They also had a bake sale!
