[Imc-newsroom] Protesters join National anti-war efforts

[Dan Chambers]

On Saturday, October 26th, 50 activists from all over east-central Illinois 
gathered at Prospect and Marketview in north Champaign to demonstrate 
against a future war in Iraq. Motorists generally gave thumbs-up, smiles, 
and waves to the anti-war demonstrators, although shouts of "bomb them all" 
were occasionally heard. For a couple of hours, motorists waiting to get 
Best Buy, Lowes, or Wal-Mart, saw that a vibrant anti-war movement exists in 
Champaign-Urbana. Protesters joined the national and worldwide throng of 
anti-war activity, as simultaneous protests in Europe, Washington D.C. and 
San Francisco helped draw attention to the many reasons for opposing a 
future war in Iraq. Local organizers are planning another demonstration for 
next Saturday, November 2nd at the corner of Prospect and Marketview in 
Champaign from 2-4 p.m.
