The Chicago chapter of ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) sent ten bus loads of protesters to October’s antiwar march on Washington, and they hope to dispatch even more to tomorrow’s follow-up rally and march on the Washington, D.C., Navy Yard to protest a war with Iraq. “This is going to be big, but we’re not sure how big,” says one of the organizers. “Many people think this will be the last demonstration before the war–that the U.S. is going to wait until January 27, when the UN inspectors make their report, and then launch the war.” A round-trip ticket is $80, but the send-off’s free. The chartered buses leave tonight at 5:30 from behind the School of the Art Institute on Columbus between Jackson and Adams in Chicago (they’ll return Sunday morning). Tickets should be purchased in advance but space may be available tonight on a first-come, first-served basis. Call 773-250-7006, E-mail chicagoanswer@attbi.com, or go to www.answerchicago.org for more information.
