Hundreds of Greens took part in Saturday’s march against the war. Greens from Illinois, Maine, Virginia, Florida and other states rallied at McPherson Square before the demonstration and then marched to the mall. Maryland Greens were well represented.

Many other Greens marched with local groups or (true to the Green grassroot democracy) dispersed among the crowd.

The Green Party table was busy with people signing up for information, buying flags, shirts, or bumper stickers.

I was approached by numerous people in the crowd looking for the “Green Party; Peace Party” flags. Unfortunately, our supply ran out before the requests did.

Rob Savidge from the Anne Arundel local reported for community radio station WRYR, which also webcast their live feed around the country. Around 100,000 people marched; others cheered from the sidelines, like the Iraqi Veterans against the war. The crowd was very diverse, including all ages and persuasions. It was a heartfelt demonstration against an unjust and illegal war.

GREEN PARTY! PEACE PARTY!
