July 20, 2013- Boston,Mass.: There was a joint rally to protest US military involvement in Syria as well as to demand justice for murdered youth Trayvon Martin. Despite the oppressive heat, there was a good turnout for this rally at Park St. on Boston Common. Speakers made the clear connection linking the US wars abroad against the poor in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and now Syria, to the domestic US wars at home against the poor and people of color, as in the Trayvon Martin case and the congressional "sequester" cuts to vital social programs; while mega-billions are appropriated for the US war machine and NSA surveillance on innocent Americans. A wide range of anti-war and social justice organizations helped put this rally together: UNAC, A.N.S.W.E.R., the International Action Center, United For Justice with Peace, Veterans For Peace, the Committee For Peace and Human Rights, and others I may have omitted. Here are links to a video and photos I took at the rally: VIDEO: http://youtu.be/w0_DG32Ld1c PHOTOS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/protestphotos1/sets/72157634718859841/detai Next sat.
