PHILADELPHIA

3,000 denounce war on Iraq

Over 3,000 protesters gathered at Philadelphia's City Hall Nov. 23. They marched down Market Street to the Liberty Bell and back to say, "No U.S. war on Iraq!"

Organized by the newly formed Philadelphia Regional Anti-War Network and endorsed by over 40 groups, the demonstration reflected the growing anti-war movement's diversity. During the march on Market Street demonstrators stopped several times to hold street rallies. Led by a group of Veterans Against the War, protesters walked down one lane of Market Street with frequent honks of support from passing motorists providing a soundtrack for their chants of "No blood for oil!"
