Unifying the Rage Against the War Machine

The key is reaching out to all who really oppose this war & the militarism that both facilitates & flows from it. Don't begin, by trying to exclude others who have different views than your own--obvious, isn't it? The huge demos we had in the 60s succeeded because they were inclusive. Only sectarians & egomaniacs can't abide that.

DIANA JOHNSTONE: Demonstrate Together
https://consortiumnews.com/2023/02/14/diana-johnstone-demonstrate-together/
Chris Hedges has written in the same vein; to both, I have added the caveat that if it's true the Libertarian Party organizers did not reach out to any leftist groups for speakers, that's a major fail. Meantime, I hope the turnout is substantial; remembering the huge demonstrations of the Sixties--& the very first one, where SDS brought out 20,000 people--I hope it will be sizable.
