Boston Common-Sept. 13, 2014: About 75 peace activists gathered at Park St. in Boston today to protest Obama's new phase of the long US war against Iraq (from 1991-the present). Also protesting US war against Syria. This was in response to Obama's announcement wed. of his re-invading Iraq to supposedly destroy ISIS, when in fact the many US invasions of Iraq created the civil wars there by destabilizing the Iraq government and placing US puppets in power. Speakers from American Friends Service Committee, Mass. Peace Action,United For Justice With Peace, Chelsea Uniting Against War, Committee For Peace And Human Rights, and others helped organize this protest. A good crowd of passersby stopped to listen and no pro-war hecklers.The weekly sat. 1 pm anti-war vigil at Park Street in Boston organized by the Committee For Peace And Human Rights has become a focal point for many protests as the vigil heads into its 16th year in October. Here are links to photos and video I took today: Photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/protestphotos1/sets/72157647584177375/ Video: http://youtu.be/9RneSwvmKTY | |

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
