| 21st century where the richest, most autoholic nation on Earth seems oblivious to the threats presented by the internal combustion engine (an invention of the 19th century, no less) while the rest of the world tries to deal with it. But not all industrialized nations are so blind and apathetic. Organizing for European Car Free Day/Mobility Week 2003 involved government, NGO's, and activists. The event was broad-reaching and seemingly effective. Though some feel more effort needs to be made in Central and Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic called attention to the harmfulness of car transport in the city, as well as supporting public transportation, bicycling, and walking, and encouraging a more positive relationship between city dwellers and their environment. Meanwhile, In parts of Asia efforts are underway to foster people-centred, equitable and sustainable transportation. While in Bogota, Colombia Car Free Day is celebrated in February where it briefly prohibited to use a private vehicle in Colombia's capital. It seems obvious many people around the world want to Reclaim the Streets, stop new roads, and challenge the exportation of the the auto-plague to developing nations. Okay, so there were a few Critical Mass bike riders in Portland, Oregon and a few other cities took their Car Free Day actions on their anniversary. Did your city or town have an event? Post it here. |

| each country by local activist groups that have informal contacts with each other. Demonstrators march down Piccadilly, London, September 27, 2003. Thousands marched to Trafalgar Square in a protest against the Allied invasion of Iraq, in a demonstration organised by the Stop the War Coalition. London's was the biggest protest, drawing 20,000 people. Demonstrators turned out in a dozen other countries, including South Korea and Egypt. "No more war. No more lies" proclaimed a banner pinned to the pedestal of Nelson's Column in London's Trafalgar Square, where demonstrators rallied after a march through the city. People of all ages, from gray-haired couples to toddlers in strollers, joined the orderly stream of protesters marching from Hyde Park. Some young marchers chanted, "George Bush, Uncle Sam, Iraq will be your Vietnam!" "I don't believe the war with Iraq was right and the proof is we haven't found any weapons of mass destruction," London protester Emma Loebid, 20, said. "I think they should hand Iraq back to the Iraqis and get the troops out." Demonstrators, including those in London, also added the Palestinian cause to their campaign. Some 3,000 people marched in Paris, where a wide banner read, "American Imperialism: Take your bloody hands off the Middle East." Others held posters that read "Wanted: George W. Bush War Criminal." In Beirut, thousands of Lebanese and Palestinian protesters demanded that U.S. forces leave Iraq and that Israel to stop its attacks in the Palestinian territories. Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader, addressed the crowd by phone from his headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah. "Together with you until victory and together until (we liberate) Jerusalem," Arafat said, his voice blaring over loudspeakers. Outside the U.S. Embassy in Athens, demonstrators hurled bottles and yogurt at riot police. About 3,000 protesters, chanting "Occupiers Out" and "Freedom for Palestine," joined the rally. Protests were also staged in other parts of Greece and on island of Crete, outside an American naval base at Souda Bay. The base supports the U.S. 6th Fleet and spy planes. In Spain, thousands of people carrying anti-war banners, banging drums and wearing white smocks marched through the streets of Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Malaga. "Oil kills," read a banner in Madrid. In Seoul, thousands of activists protested a U.S. request to send South Korean troops to Iraq. Protesters chanted "No war!" and carried banners saying "End the occupation in Iraq" and "Oppose a plan to dispatch S. Korean combat troops to Iraq" Some 4,000 protesters in the Turkish capital, Ankara, shouted slogans and unfurled banners to support the Palestinian cause and demand an end to the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. Hundreds more gathered at a similar rally in Istanbul and burned American and Israeli flags. In downtown Cairo, about 50 political activists and journalists staged a peaceful protest against Israeli attacks and the U.S.-led occupation. In Warsaw, 100 young people protested the Polish military presence in Iraq, marching with banners saying "Down with the global U.S terrorism" and "We don't want to occupy with Bush." An estimated 1,200 demonstrated in Brussels, while about 400 people marched through downtown Berlin. In Stockholm, police said about 250 people staged a demonstration. Opposition to the war has always been strong in Britain. Several large peace protests were held during the war, though none matched a huge rally on Feb. 15, before the conflict began, when between 750,000 and 2 million people marched through central London. Now, questions about Prime Minister Tony Blair's tactics in trying to win public support before invading Iraq have left his government struggling through its worst crisis. The ruling Labor Party is still well ahead of the opposition in opinion polls, but the public's faith in the government and in Blair has eroded. A new poll taken Sept. 11-16 and published Saturday in The Financial Times found 50 percent of those questioned said Blair should step aside. The newspaper did not give the sample size or margin of error. The London protest Saturday was timed for the eve of the governing party's annual conference for "maximum political impact," said Andrew Burgin, spokesman for Stop the War Coalition, one of the rally's organizers. Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, another organizer of Saturday's march, said a big demonstration would send a strong message to the government that the public did not condone what it called "lies" used to justify the war. Twenty-year-old Liban Kahiye, also in London, said, "I don't believe British and American troops should still be in Iraq. Everyday you hear stories of innocent people being killed that's not justice." |
