The group, in the words of one of its members, works “to preserve and present Palestinian culture while reminding the world of the injustice occurring in Palestine and supporting the struggle for social justice around the world… basically dance as an act of resistance and protest.”

Tens of thousands demand troops pullout

From the BBC:

Tens of thousands of people have taken part in demonstrations against the war in Iraq in cities across the US.
Rallies took place in a dozen cities, with the biggest crowds gathering in New York, Chicago and San Francisco.
They were timed to coincide with the fifth anniversary of a vote by the US Senate to authorise the Iraq invasion.
Those taking part, who included relatives of servicemen fighting in Iraq, urged the US congress to cut off funding for the war.

I attended the San Francisco protest and took some pix, which I’ll be uploading soon, here.
