 Circulars: February 09, 2003 - February 15, 2003 Archives
In the current campaign against a war with Iraq, large rallies are a valuable publicity tool for antiwar groups whose attempts to woo undecided Americans are frequently drowned out by a government that argues that it may be necessary to go to war.
Not all groups organizing protests present their agenda in the same way, but they do say that multiple issues are likely to be raised at rallies because there are so many concerns linked to fighting terrorism and Iraq: impositions on civil liberties, detaining immigrants, preemptive attacks.
Legal support for the February 15th demonstration against the war is organized by the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, the People's Law Collective and the National Lawyers Guild NYC Chapter Mass Defense Committee.
