Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

People around the world are organizing against the Bush administration’s plans to invade Iraq. This weekend, anti-war protests will take place in India, South Korea, Mexico City, Puerto Rico, Italy, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain and Belgium.

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 26th, tens of thousands of people will converge on the east and west coasts — in Washington, DC and San Francisco — for anti-war demonstrations. Pacifica will be covering the rally live from Washington, DC.

From Iraq, we are joined on the phone by Kathy Kelly of Voices in the Wilderness. She is planning to hold an anti-war protest tomorrow on the streets of Baghdad. Sara Flounders, an organizer for the International A.N.S.W.E.R coalition talks about tomorrow’s demonstration in Washington, D.C.

Guests:
