Arrests at the White House
Police arrested some 25 women in Washington, D.C., on March
8--International Women's Day--charging they crossed a police
line in front of the White House.
They included noted authors Alice Walker and Maxine Hong
Kingston, magazine publisher Nina Utne, founding Director of
Global Exchange Medea Benja min, and Pacifica radio journalist
Amy Goodman.
Those arrested were among thousands of women and supporters
who marched to protest the Bush administration's plans to
Invade Iraq.
Code Pink organized the demon stration. The name spoofs the
color-coded "national security" alerts.
