WAR NO MORE!
Times Square Armed Forces Recruiting Station
Thursday, March 19, 2026 • 12 Noon – 1 PM
On this 23rd anniversary of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, we will hold a vigil against all wars, including the horrific U.S. and Israeli war on Iran begun on February 28th. We also remember all the victims of the U.S. war machine from the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to Vietnam to Afghanistan.
Our protest will include opposition to U.S. military operations and weapons support for wars in Ukraine, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Niger, and the U.S.-supplied missiles and bombs for Israeli actions in Lebanon and the Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank, among other areas of the Middle East.
The demonstration will begin with a 12 noon vigil in front of the military recruiting station in Times Square on 43rd St. at Seventh Ave.
Sponsored by NYC War Resisters League, Pax Christi NYS, Veterans for Peace/Chapter 34, Peace Action Staten Island, Manhattan Peace Action, Brooklyn For Peace, World Can’t Wait, Peace Action NYS, NYC Metro Raging Grannies (list in formation)
