Millions of people on five continents are expected to protest

Islands, hundreds of cities in sixty countries will be holding
events.
The list of rallies, vigils and marches continues to grow.
According to today’s ‘Guardian’ of London,
the list currently includes more than 300 cities in Europe
and North America, 50 in Asia and Latin America, 10 in Africa
and 20 in Australia and Oceania.

Organizers are moving forward with plans for a massive,
legal peace rally that day. It will take place on First Avenue
stretching north from 49th Street.
