About 300 people gathered in downtown Rochester March 19th in solidarity with global actions against the US occupation of Iraq . On the occasion of the 2nd anniversary of Bush's attack on Iraq, local groups cooperated to organize the event.

The Rally began at the War Memorial (Blue Cross Arena) with speakers and chants. After about 45 minutes the demonstrators marched to the military recruitment station, where volunteers read some of the names of US soldiers and Iraqis who have been killed during the war and occupation.
