At Milwaukee Feb. 4 Protest, Dozens Say: ‘No War On Iran!’

In Milwaukee today, Feb. 4, dozens of protesters from labor, student and community organizations participated in a press conference, march and rally to say “No War On Iran!”

The action began with a press conference at the Peace Action office where representatives of anti-war and peace organizations as well as Occupy Milwaukee spoke out against any U.S.-Israeli-NATO war on Iran. From there participants marched and chanted slogans such as “Jobs Not War” through neighborhoods going north on Humboldt Avenue to E. Capitol Drive where they picketed on a large bridge.

After a rousing demonstration and picket line on the bridge, participants marched on the nearby corporate media building of the Journal Broadcasting Corporation. Venting their anger at this multi-million dollar media corporation that boycotted the “No War On Iran” protest events, a spontaneous chanting and speak-out took place in the driveway and front steps of the building where protesters said they’d be back and ended with a group photo on the front steps of the building.
