A crowd of jubilant and angry youth estimated by the police to number 6,000 ripped through the streets of Denver on Wednesday, August 27, in a powerful march demanding an end to the war in Iraq, no attack on Iran, and support for GI resisters. Marching from the Denver Coliseum, where Rage Against the Machine, the Flobots, and the Coup had just finished a mind blowing concert, to the Pepsi Center in downtown Denver, the youth filled the streets of an industrial district, a residential area, and the canyons of downtown Denver with their chants and songs: "They're our brothers, they're our sisters; we support the war resisters"; "the people of Iraq are under attack - what do we do, stand up, fight back!" Once again, Ron Kovic was at the front of the march with the Iraq veterans. more at World Can't Wait (dot net)
What Did You Think of the Obama Speech? After hundreds of anti-war protesters gathered outside Invesco Mile High Stadium last night, about 60 of us went to a Middle Eastern restaurant in Denver to watch the Obama speech. Are you hopeful, skeptical, conflicted? What is Obama's program? Is it change, more of the same, possible, or hype?
Write World Can't Wait (and comment here and/or send your thoughts to oneheartforpeace c/o Connie at newlease7@yahoo.com and let others know) what you thought of the speech.
