NYC Protest Against the War Photo Diary

by: Juan Melli

Sat Apr 29, 2006 at 08:07:55 PM EDT



This isn't strictly Jersey-related, but there was a large New Jersey contingent at today's protest against the war in New York. In fact there were people from all over. I met some folks from Pennsylvania, Vermont and even Chicago.

A friend and I arrived around noon and we managed to get to the front of the march. It was BIG. The organizers say there were over 350,000. I couldn't even guess, but there were a LOT of people. So many that even when we were at a higher elevation, we couldn't see the end of the march (click any photo for a larger version):

(Though it's likely I just photoshoped this. The media tells me nobody was there.)

Many more photos (and video) below...

It was an incredibly diverse crowd. Billionaires for Bush were representing in style:

I also caught them on video chanting their alternative of the "Show me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!" chant:

Iraq war veterans were there, too:

There were young:

And a little older (Raging Grannies / Grandmothers Against the War):

I spotted Cindy Sheehan up ahead leading the march:

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.
