An Antiwar Demonstration That Does Not Take to the Streets

On February 15th, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in New York City and around the globe to protest the possible war on Iraq. Eleven days later, hundreds of thousands of Americans again protested the Bush Administration’s Iraq policy, this time by flooding the White House and Senate with phone calls, faxes, and e-mails. Given the daunting logistics involved in planning street demonstrations, the success of this virtual protest raises the possibility that anti-war activists will rely more heavily on technology to communicate their message. - YaleGlobal
