Over 2500 on brillant Anti-War march in Manchester
Richard Searle | 03.11.2001 17:33
Over two and half thousand people marched through Manchester on the biggest peace demo for over ten years. The March was organised by the Greater manchester Coalition to Stop the War.
The march brought together peace campaigners, trade unionists, members of Manchester's Asian and middle eastern communities, Green Party, C.N.D., Socialist Workers Party, the Labour Party, Students, Socialist Alliance, Globalise Resistance and many other Stop the War groups that have sprung up around the city in the last few weeks.
The march grew in size as it went through the city centre. The march stopped in St Annes Square and held a minutes silence for all victims of conflict and war.
Despite the rain ( so Manchester), there was a brillant atmosphere on the march.
Look out for further postings on Indymedia from the Manc'r STW Coalition of photos and videos of the march over the next few days.
Special thanks to the all drummers,musicians and the Samba band, and those who brought their pink, fluffy tank on the march
See you all in London on the 18th November
