of hundreds of activists from over 35 community, student, religious

from the war.

mass civil disobedience in the form of a die-in and smaller coordinated
actions throughout the city aimed at disrupting business as usual.
Where: Rockefeller
Center: 50th Street and 5th Avenue

Who: A broad,
ad-hoc coalition of over 35 anti-war organizations. For more information
