How to Maintain a Peaceful Demonstration

Sorry for the bait and switch, but I don't actually have that pamphlet in front of me to transcribe. Instead, I want to encourage anyone who is opposed to military action in Iraq to visit this site and join a protest in your area on February 15. There are also feeder marches (though some are ill-advised) that will end up at First Avenue and 49th Street. There are two schools of thought on the protest march and what is smart behavior. Some people think it's okay to get ostentatious about it, that it draws attention and dissuades violence, but I think too much goofy stuff downplays the seriousness of a protest against war. Also, if you're arrested, do you want to be outfitted in a feather boa or wearing dangling jewelry that can hurt you? The less freaky peace-protesters are, the more seriously the movement is taken. Carry attention getting signs and banners, chant catchy slogans, but don't treat a protest march like a parade.
