In the past few months we have helped coordinate protests in Albany NY that drew hundreds of people, held Oct. 25/28 2002 and Jan. 17 2003. We have also sent bus-loads of hundreds of local residents to the massive anti-war demonstrations held in Washington D.C. Oct. 26 2002 and Jan. 18 2003. For information on the next meeting go here.
