Weekly anti-war vigil going strong

Issue 

HOBART — Activists had wondered if the terrorist attack in Bali would dampen the spirits of the fourth in a series of weekly vigils against the war on Iraq that have attracted up to 100 people. On October 18, the conclusion was that it hadn't.

The vigils have been organised by the Peace Coalition — a group formed specifically to campaign against the impending war. A wide section of the progressive movement in Hobart is involved in the coalition including the Socialist Alliance, Quakers and various trade union leaders.

The coalition is working towards a big rally on November 2. To get involved in the coalition, contact Lynne Fitzgerald on (03) 6234 9553.
