Antiwar Demonstrations
Please write us to add more marches!

Millions across the planet are marching against war on Iraq today – here are the estimates and final numbers in cities and countries around the world.

Please send us any additions you see we don't have – in article form and preferably after the march so we have final numbers!

PS: Quite a few of these are in Spanish, Portuguese, or other languages, at least so the numbers are documented. Please send English versions if they are found!
