Los Angeles CA - 4/9/04
In response to the week’s eye popping resistance in Iraq, protests across the country pumped up the volume against Bush's war. LA’s rally initiated by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition
was at the Westwood Federal Building. Newswire Coverage: A 1, 2, 3 -- Inca Bunny -- builder123 -- Marcus Iraq Pick of the Week -- Images to End the War
Two million people turned out around the world to protest the occupation of Iraq. In LA, an estimated 15,000 people took to the streets. As one marcher noted, there was less of a mass media effort made to promote this demonstration, but a healthy number of dedicated people turned out, demonstrating real resistance to US policy. Even with an uncoordinated decentralized promotional effort, masses of hard-core anti-war protesters turned out.
This demonstration is undoubtedly the most photographed in Los Angeles history.
Every third person seemed to have a digital camera (and most double as video cameras).
