The New York City Local of the War Resisters League (WRL) will hold a funeral march on Feb. 20, (Presidents Day) to protest the loss of life in the war being waged against Iraq.
Participants will carry coffins draped in black and American flags, representing the Iraqis and Americans killed in the war.
This is the fourth funeral procession in as many months and the NYC War Resisters League plans to continue the processions until the war in Iraq is ended and the last
soldier is returned home.
Organizers have announced that the marches will occur monthly and will visit a wide variety of New York City recruiting centers - in all five boroughs.
This is the first of these marches to occur outside of Manhattan.
