21. "Anti-war demonstrators rally around the world"

Organizers put turnout in Washington at 200,000
Sunday, January 19, 2003 Posted: 8:22 AM EST (1322 GMT)

http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/01/18/sproject.irq.us.protests/

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Americans across the nation publicly protested a possible war in Iraq on Saturday.

In Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, California, at the two largest peace rallies, the crowds were urged on by international peace activists, religious leaders, members of Congress, actors and musicians.

At least tens of thousands of people rallied on the Mall in Washington, and a similar-size group crowded downtown San Francisco

27. another snip from that piece:

Anti-war demonstrators in New York completely blocked New York's Broadway for two blocks below 42nd Street, while hundreds of protesters gathered in Washington and at university campuses around the country.

Hundreds of students at Harvard University walked out of classes at noon, and at least 1,500 people took part in a rally

30. The most powerful and impactful and inspiring moments of my life,...

,...can never be stolen by a profiteering, amoral media INTENTIONALLY ignoring a historical, global human gathering and movement. The "corporate media" is obsolete. It has no place in "democracy" unless it changes its' priorities.

37. 10,500 St Paul Minnesota October 26 2002

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines02/1027-03.htm

Thousands of Minnesotans, stunned by the death of U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone but galvanized to carry forward his work, rallied Saturday at the Cathedral of St. Paul and marched to the state Capitol to protest a war in Iraq.

The anti-war gathering, which drew people of all ages and members of more than 50 peace organizations, was the largest in recent years. It was held simultaneously with demonstrations in New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and other cities.

(Organizers had some sort of a count but Capital security always at least halves the numbers, not sure why.)
