Spying Won't Deter Us, Peace Groups Say
A coalition of U.S. peace groups is pressing ahead with plans for what it hopes will be a massive march on Washington Jan. 27, even though newly released documents show the antiwar community is under Pentagon surveillance.



"The peace and justice movement helped make ending the war in Iraq the primary issue in this last election," the umbrella group United for Peace and Justice said in a statement.



"The actions we take do make a difference, and now there is a new opportunity for us to move our work forward. On Election Day [Nov. 7], people took individual action by voting. On January 27, we will take collective action, as we march in Washington, D.C., to make sure Congress understands the urgency of this moment."
They will do so under the "watchful" eye of Brother Department of Defense. Just who are they watching?

  1. Veterans for Peace,
  2. Iraq Veterans Against the War,
  3. Military Families Speak Out,
  4. Code Pink,
  5. the American Friends Service Committee,
  6. the War Resisters League, and
  7. United for Peace and Justice
Are you a member of a group not on the list? Feel left out?
