The March 20 rally in Tucson came off smoothly and uneventfully. Over 500 people met at the University of Arizona mall and walked down Speedway to De Anza Park in protest on the one-year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Particularly strong was the message that the Bush administration must be stopped from continuing their war-mongering. For a peaceful march which stayed on the sidewalks, police presence was far overkill, including a helicoptor hovering overhead (our tax dollars at work). Volunteers in orange vests affiliated with the march facilitated the police by stopping the string of people at each crosswalk when the "no walking" light began to flash. At the park, white crosses were placed in the ground to commemorate those who have died. A rally with speakers & music concluded the action.
This demonstration was held in conjunction with hundreds of actions around the world. Tucson citizens joined with millions in saying "no!" to the continued occupation of Iraq. Demonstrations of this scale will continue as long as U.S. foreign policy is geared towards domination of the world.
