Counter-Recruitment Actions March 20, 2005
During the week leading up to March 20, 2005, activists across the country were gearing up for national peace marches and organizing local actions in their communities. There were hundreds of events nationwide that took place to mark the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq- from teach-ins, workshops and conferences, to rallies, marches and acts of civil disobedience. One estimate from United for Peace & Justice put the number of peace protests at 765! Here are some of the pictures from those events that had a specific counter-recruitment focus. Many of these pictures were taken during actions and protests outside of military recruting stations across the country.
