March 19th marks the 2nd Anniversary of the "Shock and Awe" Invasion of Iraq. A Global Day of Coordinated Actions will see demonstrations in London, Glasgow and throughout the world. Elsewhere in Europe massive protests will take place against neoliberalism and for social justice, as well as anti-war.
For London: Stop The War Coalition, CND and the Muslin Association of Great Britain has called for a massive "Troops Home" demonstration on Saturday March 19th - 1pm

http://www.banthebomb.org March 19th is also the day chosen by the Assembly of the Social Movements at the European Social Forum in London for a European wide mobilisation, just prior to the European Council meeting in Brussels. So expect large protests around Europe and focussed in Brussels, with a much wider set of social justice anti-neoliberalism themes than just anti-war.
