On the coldest night
in a decade, a diverse group of more than 150 Alamedans of all ages
protested President Bush's escalation of the Iraq war. They gathered at
City Hall, then marched in high spirits down the Park Street business
district, chanting "No" and waving signs. Cars and buses greeted them
by blaring horns and waving. Patrons along the street flashed thumbs up
and peace signs.

APN
and the Network of Spiritual Progressives marked a tragic milestone in
the Iraq invasion and occupation: 3000 US Military and more than
650,000 Iraqis dead. The circle of people gathered in front of
Alameda's City Hall to read the names of those, American and Iraqi, who
have died.
