\n
\nYouth activists, veterans, and antiwar organizers have taken the street near Constitution Ave., Pennsylvania Ave., and 4th St. NW in the middle of Washington, D.C.
\n
\nSeveral hundred people have completely shut down the street, including people from as far away as Oregon and Florida. They intend to keep the street closed for as long as possible.
\n
\nHundreds of supporters have gathered on the sidewalks, as youth are erecting tents from the Encampment in the middle of the street.
\nbr>
\nThey are asking for the progressive and antiwar community in the area to come out and support them. Bring food, water, signs, and join youth from across the U.S. who are moving from protest to resistance to shut down the war.
\n

Update from Rally at the Encampment Site
\nThousands of people are joining us here at the Encampment, despite efforts by the
\npolice to block access to the rally.<\/p>\n

We have been informed that police have blocked an entire highway into the city in
\norder to stop the buses that are coming from dozens of organizing centers. We have
\nbeen on the phone with organizers, planning alternate routes into the city tobypass.
\nWe are determined not to let the police block the outpour of resistance and
\nopposition to Bush’s criminal war.<\/p>\n

The mall in front of Congress is full of thousands of activists, some from as far
\naway as Washington State and Hawaii .<\/p>\n

The march is stepping off in just a few minutes, and we’ve just heard that a group
\nof youth are planning civil disobedience at the end of the march. Details and
\nupdates to follow.
