SAN DIEGO PRIDE: SUPPORT FOR ANTI-WAR MESSAGE
On July 31, the San Diego and Los Angeles chapters of the International Action Center provided a loud and spirited contingent in San Diego's largest parade, Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trans Pride.
Accompanied by a 10-foot painting depicting political prisoner Mumia Abu- Jamal and a banner proclaiming "No pride in war, occupation and racism," these activists and their political slogans were greeted with enthusiastic applause along the entire two-mile march route.
The local Coalition for Justice, along with the IAC contingent, addressed anti-war concerns. Many of the 50,000 spectators joined in chanting "Bring the troops home!" Even in a major military town like San Diego, growing frustration toward an illegal war and occupation continues to mount.
