Note: Local peace movement on News 12, Sat. May 3rd (and on scene photos here, too)

Posted on May 4, 2008 by iwilder

The Suffolk Peace Network and other Long Island groups held a demonstration at the Sunrise Mall in Massapequa today, Saturday, May 3rd, 2008. It was well attended, including some Green Party members, Pax Christi and members of PeaceSmiths.

A handful of pro-war people attended. They mostly stayed on their corner, though one time came by our line to taunt, harass and question us. Things stayed pretty calm. (Photo above shows 3 pro-war people in the street (backs to camera), confronting peaceful demonstrators. On the right is a media person filming.

We heard that there is a News 12 story that is being aired tonight (their news usually repeats at the top of each hour.) Hope you might watch our activism in action. (Photo above: Can you spot the PeaceSmiths board member?)
