On September 21, The UN International Day for Peace, United for Peace & Justice was pleased to co-host the north American premiere of “We Are Many”. This moving film tells the inspiring story of the historic global protests demanding No War with Iraq. The film documents how 30 million people in 800 cities throughout the world came together on February 15, 2003 to protest against the Iraq War, while also showing how this sparked other historic events. United for Peace and Justice played a leading role in organizing these demonstrations in New York and other U.S. cities.
Nearly 2000 people around the country took part in the September 21 premiere, which also featured six music performances, including contributions from Michael Franti, Tom Morello and the Resistance Revival Chorus, and a Q&A discussion, moderated by journalist and author Stephen Kinzer, with director Amir Amirani, and key contributors to the film, Medea Benjamin, Colleen Kelly, Bill Fletcher Jr. and Phyllis Bennis.
Now we’re excited to report that the film team has decided to launch a virtual 8 week run of the film, starting on October 2. Tickets for this will include the film only. Like the premiere, tickets for the extended run will benefit United for Peace & Justice and other hosting groups. UFPJ will continue to benefit from 40% of net profits from ticket sales throughout the run if purchased at the following link.
