Over a hundred people rallied outside of the Armed Forces Recruitment Center in Capitola to express their opposition to the impending threat of a United States invasion of Iraq. Part of the National Moratorium to Stop the War on Iraq, today’s action marked the first coordinated effort at a worldwide day of non-violent direct action to resist war.
