Wednesday was a national day of action against the Iraq war on the fifth anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq by the U.S. military. A range of protest actions occurred coast to coast and civil disobedience led to several arrests in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere. In the San Francisco area protests were held at the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and there were protests against military recruiters. In Washington about 30 people were arrested when they blocked IRS offices. U.S. Labor Against The War added labor’s voice to Wednesday’s protests in Washington, D.C as the Iraq war U.S. death toll approaches 4,000.
