Post Broc By CARRIE CHICAGO-Inspired by the successful Midwest regional March for Peace, Jobs and Justice held here Oct. 25, the coalition that organized the Chicago-based demon -stration met here Nov. 19 to plan Chicago's participation in a national antiintervention/anti-apartheid mobilization to be held in Washington, D.C., on April 25.
Some 2000 activists participated in the Chicago Oct. 25 march and rally, which was organized by a coalition of local anti-intervention, anti-apartheid, solidarity, and nuclear freeze groups.
Organizers of the fall action unanimously agreed, at the coalition wrap-up meeting, that the event was a big success. The demonstration, which included a mile-long march through downtown Chicago, represented the first major anti-intervention and anti-apartheid march organized here by a citywide coalition since 1984.
The event drew participants from across the Midwest. Buses and car caravans came from as far away as St. Louis, Mo.; Bloomington, Ind.; Toledo, Ohio; and Madison, Wisc. A big percentage of the marchers were students from campuses outside the immediate Chicago area.
