A number of local citizens attended a peace march in Syracuse this most recent weekend. Some 3000 people attended the rally, which was sponsored by peace groups and union organizations. 100 members of Veterans For Peace were in attendance as well as several dozen active duty soldiers, members of the Fort Drum (in northern NY) chapter of Iraq veterans against the war.
There was an Associated Press piece on the rally that was ignored by The Post-Star, but the piece can be found here.
A first hand account of the rally as well as photos will be posted in this blog in the next day or so.
