Anti-war CD Action Today In Sacramento Part 1

Twenty-three war veterans, teachers, students and others opposed to war in Iraq were arrested today at a rally at the 5th and I Federal Building in Sacramento.

This action is one of many local actions taking place around the country during the coming weeks. According to the Pledge of Resistance, more than 5,000 people have pledged to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience in order to prevent or halt the death and destruction that U.S. military action will bring to the people of Iraq.

"We intend to draw a line for the Bush Administration with our bodies, to oppose this illegal war." said a statement released by the Iraq Pledge of Resistance.

Today's rally was co-sponsored by numerous peace groups.
