1. The illegal, heinous, and ongoing war in Iraq began five years ago today, March 19. The Fifth Anniversary Coalition is sponsoring the Iraq War Fifth Anniversary Protest with a candlelight vigil. In 2003, millions marched in protest as the war began. For those who are unable to make the vigil, the Coalition encourages diverse autonomous actions throughout the day such as freeway banners, vigils, teach-ins, walk-outs and civil disobedience. The protest is nonviolent and will convey the anger and grief of the loss of life from this unjust war. The goal is to also promote hope for the future through peace justice and human rights.
