WBAI, New York City Protest
8AM-1PM Pacific Time
Amy Goodman and Robert Knight and WBAI-Pacifica staff will
anchor coverage of "The
World Says No to War" as thousands of people will
converge on New York City, joining millions of others around
the globe for what will most likely be the largest day of
protest in history. Sponsored by United
For Peace and Justice, a rally will be held at noon, Eastern
time, at First Avenue Stretching north on First Avenue.
Some featured speakers will be Rev. Desmond Tutu, Patti Smith,
Harry Belefonte and Danny Glover. The City of New York has
denied United for Peace and Justice a permit to march and
Federal Courts have upheld this denial. United for Peace and
Justice has called for vigorous protest against this stifling
of the growing opposition to Bush's war. Pacifica coverage
will follow events as they unfold on the streets of New York
City on Saturday.
