I helped put together this video with the Philly IMC about the march on saturday, trying to capture some of the energy and enthusiasm of those involved:
Let me know what you think. How effective is the peace movement? What isn't happening to push it forward? Should we be engaging in direct action? More or less marching?

Youth involvement
I wrote a post over at my blog about student participation. I think a lot of people unfairly assume that youth are not active around the war. Thousands of students from around the country participated in this demonstration-- hundreds from Philadelphia-area campuses.

many youth at the march
i have lamented, privately, at oscars or mcglinchy's, about the lack of youth involvement in philly at recent events here.
i think part of the problem might be lack of communication between the older and younger groups. ben i think it is awesome that you are helping to make those connections.
there were a large number of youth at the march on saturday.
