The National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance is organizing "From Mourning to Resistance," a March to the Pentagon on Monday, March 20, that will culminate in nonviolent direct action. This March on the Pentagon will begin with a gathering at 9 AM on Daniel French Drive, which is near 23rd and Independence. At 10 AM, there will be a march across the Arlington Memorial Bridge to Lady Bird Johnson Grove, near the Pentagon. At both sites, there will be speakers and music. The speakers are as follows: Bruce Gagnon, a Vietnam era veteran and director of the Global Network Against Nuclear Weapons & Power in Space, Fr. Joe Mulligan from Nicaragua, Global Call for Nonviolent Resistance, Laura Costas, Military Families Speak Out, Mike Ferner, Veterans For Peace and Voices for Creative Nonviolence, and Michael Berg whose son was beheaded in Iraq. There will be a ceremony to honor the dead, before a delegation attempts to deliver a coffin to Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld.
