OAKLAND, California — More than 10,000 people marched through downtown Oakland on April 6 to protest against the US invasion of Iraq. Many participated in contingents of people of colour, labour and students. At the end of the march, singer Harry Belafonte, Congressperson Barbara Lee and labour activists condemned the US government's military interventions around the world.
