17 arrested in Die-In at Federal Building

17 Angelenos mostly involved with the American Friends Service Committee (aka Quakers) lay down outside the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles and were arrested for blocking the sidewalk. This follows on the heels of a c.10,000 person march on January 11th and just before the January 18th San Francisco/WashingtonD.C. anti-war national marches.

Good luck all on January 18th at the Shannon Warport. Americans are doing there bit too. Together we can stop this war. It has been pointed out that we're in much better shape than the Vietnam era protests because they didn't happen until 5 years AFTER South Vietnam was invaded by the US.

Go PEACE! Go Direct Action!
