Protests Planned for Dick Cheney's Visit to Rochester (Updated)


Next Monday, November 17th, while Dick Cheney is holding a $1000/plate lunch at the Riverside Convention Center, two groups will protest his visit to our city. Metro Justice is planning a massive demonstration to greet Dick Cheney in front of the convention center. Simultaneously, RCAN is calling for more radical direct action including blocking streets and entrances to disrupt Dick Cheney's visit.


One of the main reasons for the demonstrations is Cheney's role in the US led war on Iraq, which is complicated by his
ties to the Halliburton corporation. Halliburton has greatly benefitted from contracts to "rebuild" Iraq.



UPDATE 11/17 1:45pm: Read accounts of the protest here.
