Marching with the sisters/Reclaiming the flag

During today's peace march in commemoration of International Women's Day, some 600 to 700 people marched from the Midtown YMCA on Lake Street in Minneapolis to Powderhorn Park. It was a wonderful, diverse assortment of families, dogs, Code Pink supporters, IndyMedia punks, neighborhood activists, and peacenik toddlers. I was proud to clog Lake Street with 'em. Special thanks to the woman who, following Bill Moyers' lead, was passing out American flags with this message:

Don't let war supporters hijack the flag. Fly your flag, but ONLY with antiwar signs and at clearly antiwar events.

Call Women Against Military Madness to purchase a "No War on Iraq" lawn sign ($10) or smaller apartment-window sized size ($5), then get a flag of your own.
