THE
"WAR ON TERROR" As the United States government prepared to invade Afghanistan following the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC, many Americans expressed their opposition to a violent response by protesting. One of the first national protests was on September 29, 2001 in Washington, DC. A second protest was held in DC on April 20, 2002. It was a multifaceted protest against the war in Afghanistan, US military support of Israel, and economic globalization and free trade policies. It was also the largest rally in support of Palestine in US history. People held smaller protests around the country the same day.
