Here's some info on the Anti-war march in L.A. this Saturday:

The March 19 demonstration is fully permitted and legal. People are coming from all over LA to take part. There will be carpools, buses and peace trains from Arizona, Nevada, Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Long Beach, South LA, the San Gabriel Valley, Bakersfield, San Diego and more. Here’s some info on how to get to the protest:
