Having been the co-organizer for (Cindy Sheehan's Women's March on the Pentagon in 2018) commemorating the 1967 March...I can say unequivocally that this is another pile of white noise perpetrated by those who actually profit from war while claiming to oppose it!

Led by Bernie Bros and professional 'antiwar' members of the peace industrial complex this action is to raise funds. I learned very quickly that if these marches and demos really mattered...there would have already been a cessation of the preparations for war and war itself.

If indeed war were to end- many of these people would be out of work. Most of them spend their days fundraising.

While I 'hope' something comes of it- I can say personally from experience that the Masters will mostly be amused and annoyed. Nothing will change.

PS: On October 11, 2019 Cindy Sheehan led another action in WDC. It was called Rage Against the War Machine. Hm. Ms Sheehan was not invited to this (2023) iteration even though it bears the name of her action. Why? Because she doesn't play nice!!

We've got to do more than 'rage' folks. We have to disengage.
