December 31, 2006 - New York, NY. Protesters from Peace Action Staten Island and SDS protested the 3000th US war death - and the 650,000 Iraqi deaths - today in Staten Island, New York. Protesters gathered at Congressman Vito Fossella’s office (4434 Amboy Road) at noon and held a militant protest until about 1:30 pm. Response was very good from drivers who slowed as the passed the protest, many “honking for peace” and flashing peace signs. Surprisingly, even a Police radio car and NY Fire Department truck honked in solidarity with the demonstrators. A number of mainstream press were on hand, including Mara Montalbano of NY 1 and Julie Walker of AP and overall press coverage was very good. Another protest is planned for New Years day at the same location - this time as a candlelight vigil. The vigil will run from 7 to 8 pm, rain or shine.  Numerous other protests are being held thoughout New York City.
