Boston protest largest since Vietnam era
In what is believed to be the largest anti-war demonstration
in Boston since the Vietnam War, more than 25,000 rain-soaked
protesters converged on Boston Commons March 29. They marched
throughout downtown demanding an end to the brutal U.S. war
against Iraq. The demonstration was called by the Boston
chapter of the United for Peace and Justice coalition.
Moonanum James (pictured above), co-leader of United
American Indians of New England, addressed the rally on behalf
of the International ANSWER coalition--Act Now to Stop War and
End Racism--an endorser of the event.
James urged the crowd to mobilize for the April 12 national
protest at the White House to demand: "Stop the war on Iraq"
and "Bring the troops home now!"
