March 19 - A Day of Many Actions

With the vast majority of the US public opinion now in agreement with us there may be less need to "get the word out." But the war goes on. We must respond to this slaughter. Creativity was our greatest weapon. With lock downs, suits, animal costumes, bands, flags, die-ins, poetry, song, street theater, militant moments, mass gatherings, vigils and much more we showed our opposition.

My favorite moment was when I stopped by the info point at Sansom and Market. A very mainstream looking guy walked up, he wasn't with friends or any kind of a group nor did he have any anti-war messages on him. "What's going on?" he asked. He was given a little explanation of the different events, "...and some people will get arrested." He responded, "Yeah, thats what I came here for." I later saw him being taken away by the police at Montgomery and Market.
