Over 2,500 people marched through the streets of Syracuse, NY on September 29th to call for Immediate Withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. Billed as, 'Soldiers and Civilians Speak Out!', members of Iraq Veterans Against the War lead the march.

This march was unique, not only because it was the largest in upstate New York since the Vietnam War, but because it brought soldiers, students, labor and the mainstream city groups together in a way not seen enough in today's antiwar movement. Groups like Military Families Speak Out, Veterans for Peace, the Green Party and SEIU 1199 came together to demand Immediate Withdrawal of US troops, funding for vets when they get back, reparations for the Iraqi people, and funding for healthcare.

Initiated by the Ft. Drum chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War, organizing involved 10 cities, and many individuals, over a 2 month stretch, through weekly conference calls, a website hosted by the Syracuse Peace Council and a face-to-face meeting at Rochester's Antiwar Storefront. The result was mobilization from all parts of New York state and a great openness to not only discuss the war, but the health care crisis, the devastation of our inner cities, the poor treatment of our veterans, and the racist scapegoating of Arabs and Muslims here in the US.

Yesterday I passed by School Of The Arts and witnessed 2 Army recruiters in camouflague uniforms talking to a student in front of the building. I shot two photos of the recruiters and then left. As I rode by again later they were gone and I spoke to a vice-principal who I told about the incident. I said that I had a photo of recruiters and that they should not be recruiting on school property and he agreed. A woman cop stated that she knew the girl and that she was already signed up to go so it was okay. I stated that whether she was or not that they should not recruit on school property. I also stated that she could also change her mind. I have contacted the City School District but they were not available for comment (Legal Dept.)

This is the second time veteran social studies teacher with the Rochester City School District and political activist - Howard Eagle is running for school board.
