On Monday, the Tasini campaign was part of a Code Pink protest of the Iraq War in front of the UN Building. Cindy Sheehan and four members of Code Pink were arrested for exercising their right to free speech by blocking access to the UN Mission Building.

The protests come as we prepare for the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Sheehan, the Tasini Campaign, Troops Out Now, and other peace groups will be holding a series of events the weekend of March 18-19 to honor our troops and send our government the message that we will not stand for this illegal war.

Stay tuned for updates on rallies, marches, and other events surrounding the anniversary.
