Protesters back in the streets Thursday

Despite a week of police repression, violence and arrests, protesters were back in the streets Thursday to demand an end to war, injustice, poverty and a government that is clearly not "for the people." 

In yesterday's actions:

  • Leadership of the antiwar committee was targeted and arrested at their evening march.
  • Codepink's banners disrupted John McCain's speech inside the Xcel energy center.
  • Democracy Now! reporters covered a protest and mass arrests on Marion Bridge where repression of journalists was deemed, "unprecedented in recent regional history." Some examples: NBC Kare11's cameraman and CBS WCCO's cameraman Tom Aviles were arrested. Pioneer Press' Ben Garvin and Uptake's Susan were detained.
