There's also an "anti-authoritarian anti-war network" that has formed, with 
organized node in New York City. We have an email list and are talking about 
organizing some upcoming actions and events. Needless to say, we won't be 
interested in marching around with our nose up ANSWER's ass. We've been 
talking about targeting media offices with protest and organizing several 
days of coordinated actions.

There are also many other groups and coalitions doing anti-war activism. 
Visit Indymedia websites to find news about local groups. I was looking 
through the Reuters photo wire last night and found some photos on an 
anti-war action in Trenton, New Jersey:

There seems to be anti-war activism busting out all over.

the world today are anarchists, who are busily
undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is
still trying to form committees."
