I had to leave before the protest got down to Foley Square, but I must say that despite the rainy weather, hundreds if not thousands came out to support UFPJ's fight against the Bush regime and the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and possibly in Iran. Most people met up on the north side of Union Square where the band was playing alongside the shoppers at the Farmer's market. Other groups met on Broadway between 17th and 23rd.
It was good to see so many people get together to oppose this terrible war and it helps prove that the American people want this mess to end. See the pictures below:
The cops were there early and waiting
The main stage at 17th and B'way
Protesters even came in chains
Code Pink was out in the rain and showed strong support
Who better to quote protest songs from than Bob Dylan
