March 5th is a national (america) day of student war protest. We're all supposed to wear shirts or make signs that say "no war" and such. I know it won't accomplish anything by itself, but i figure you should all know. i already have like 3 shirts like that. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

A national student strike has been called. Students should walk out of their classes and encourage others to go with them. In NYC, students are gathering at Union Square for a rally. I don't remember the time of the rally, however I believe that it is going to move uptown to Hunter College (68th and Lexington) for a rally at 2:30(I know the rallys happening then, only heard by word of mouth that the general union square rally is coming to it.)
Did anyone else do anything for March 5th? A large number(I'd estimate well over a thousand) gathered outside hunter college from high schools and colleges around NYC and marched to Hillary Clintons office to protest her support of a war with Iraq. Several people were arrested during the march, as they tried to take to the streets.
Well eehm: there was someone arrested on march the 5th, for wearing a t-shirt that was compromising/controversial,...the exact refreasment was: that it was disruptive for other shoppers,...I wonder what ever happened to freedom of expression? well here: judge for yourselves: Mall Wants to Drop Peace T - Shirt Charges By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 6:27 a.m. ET GUILDERLAND, N.Y. (AP) -- Officials at a mall where a man was arrested for refusing to remove an anti-war T-shirt asked Wednesday that trespassing charges against him be dropped. Police said managers from Crossgates Mall called and asked that the complaint against Stephen Downs be withdrawn. Police Chief James Murley said he would support the mall's decision. Earlier Wednesday, about 100 anti-war demonstrators marched through the mall to protest the arrest. They told a mall manager they would stop only when charges against the shopper were dropped and when the mall outlined its policy. ``We just want to know what the policy is and why it's being randomly enforced,'' said Erin O'Brien, an organizer of the noontime rally. ``It's only the people in the recent months who have anti-war or peace T-shirts that are being asked to leave the mall.'' A mall spokeswoman did not return repeated calls for comment. Downs' son, Roger, said dropping the charge would not rectify the arrest. ``My father feels there's more to this. Crossgates hasn't examined what was wrong here,'' he said. ``I think he'd like an apology.'' He said his father would wait to see how the mall handles the case before deciding whether to sue. Stephen Downs, 61, and his son were stopped Monday by mall security guards and asked to remove their shirts that read ``Peace on Earth'' and ``Give Peace a Chance,'' or leave. Roger Downs, 31, took off his shirt. But his father, a lawyer with the state Commission on Judicial Conduct and a former Peace Corps volunteer, refused. The guards called police, and he was charged with trespassing and pleaded innocent. Tim Kelley, director of Operations for Pyramid Mall management, the mall's owner, said in a statement that Downs' behavior and clothing was disruptive to other shoppers. The men had had the T-shirts made at a mall store and wore them while they shopped. source
