More details...

"New York State Marches for Peace" was more than a ten-day peace walk through Upstate. The project aimed to strengthen bridges between anti-war activists and members of the military and their families in the struggle against the illegal and unconstitutional occupation of Iraq. Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) and Military Families Speak Out (MFSO) were involved in planning the walk, along with activists from New York State Direct Action for Peace. The audiences for this bridge-building effort were rural Upstate New York communities along the walking routes from Rochester, Ithaca and Utica heading north to Fort Drum. Spontaneous participation from community residents was amazing and inspiring.
