Say No to War
The “World Says No to War” protest, a massive, peaceful and powerful rally, will be held Saturday, Feb. 15, at 49th Street and Second Avenue in New York City, a short distance from the United Nations. United for Peace and Justice has many resources on its website to help you get safely to the rally. It has also posted a list of sponsoring groups and a speakers’ schedule, and will be posting any last-minute updates.
