Anti-war protest at Cedar Rapids, Iowa |
Over a dozen people, calling themselves Women For Peace,
held a protest October 8 here in Cedar Rapids. They
were divided in groups of two & three and strung out
along the main drag during rush hour. Holding signs
'Honk if your against the war' & 'Say no to war'
received some favorable responses.
Speaking with a member of the group of men & women she
indicated they were local and had little knowledge
of national or world organizations against the war.
They hope to have a website up soon. The last protest
in the city was a few years ago when city gay civil
rights was proposed and prompted a visit by Gary Bauer. |
