MASS OCTOBER 26TH DEMONSTRATIONS INAUGURATE GRASSROOTS
PEOPLE'S ANTI-WAR REFERENDUM AS PEOPLE VOTE NO TO WAR!
www.VoteNoWar.org
In the biggest anti-war demonstrations since the Vietnam
War, hundreds of thousands of people on October 26th took
to the streets across the country announcing with a
massive visible and vocal presence the creation of a new
anti-war movement to stop George W. Bush's plans to wage
war against Iraq. The demonstrators included a vast number
of people compelled to action because they were frustrated
and angered when the Congress failed to listen to the
people's opposition to a war on Iraq.
More than 200,000 people marched in the streets of
Washington, D.C. and over 100,000 in San Francisco in
addition to tens of thousands in other cities around the
country. In Washington, D.C., the march was so vast that
as the front of the march completed encircling the White
House it met the last quarter of the march that had not
even begun moving up towards the White House, and was
forced to stop for a half an hour to allow the last
portion of the march to proceed before the front could
continue along the route back towards the rally site.
People filled Washington's wide boulevards and sidewalks
shoulder to shoulder for 25 city blocks, over two miles.
The October 26 demonstrations launched another major step
in mass action against the war
