Thousands Take Part in Anti-Iraq War Protest Print E-mail
Sunday, 28 October 2007 12:28
ImageTens of thousands of demonstrators joined marches in cities across the United States demanding an end to the war in Iraq, organizers said.


Local television stations Saturday showed crowds filing peacefully through the streets in New York, Los Angeles and other cities.


The protesters waved banners that read "End the war now," "Stop Bush," and "Worst president ever," referring to the increasingly unpopular US military campaign in Iraq launched by Bush.


The coalition of groups behind the day of protests, United for Peace and Justice, issued a statement putting the total number of participants at 100,000 across various cities including Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.

"End this war, bring the troops home now. We need money in our own communities, not in a war that never should have happened," said a member of the campaign group, Leslie Cagan, on New York's NY1 television news channel.
