Set One


The protest had two themes: Stop The War


And Stop Torturing Prisoners


On the 5th anniversary of the opening of the Gitmo prison camp


Bush chose to announce an escalation of the Iraq War...


Debbie Anderson (center) of Military Families
Speak Out organized the event


Along with Elaine Brower (hood) of World Can't Wait
and Thomas Good of MDS New York


A member of MDS New York stands vigil


A young protester braves the cold


Members of SDS New York "in the streets"


Urging people to "honk for peace"


Huddled against the cold and wind


SDSers engage commuters on their bus ride home

Set Two


Protesters spell out the grim body count


And demand the rule of law be respected


"We will not be silent"


Remembering the dead


"Think Peace...Teach Peace"


The two messages of the day


A number of SDS chapters were represented




A number the govt would like us to forget...


Activists from Brooklyn turned out in solidarity


The standard Guantanamo uniform - designed to degrade




A panoramic view of the front of Borough Hall




Peace Action sold bus tickets to DC - for the Jan 27 protest


As SDS and WCW moved on the center median strip...


...on busy Richmond Terrace


Drivers honked as they passed the protesters


Pratt (l) and Pace (r) SDSers tried to stay warm


SDS was very well represented


Standing on the concrete island at the terminal entrance


Protesters engaged the bus operators and their passengers
