The
Halloween 2002 protest[?] was a series of protests against the
capitalism and
war in general, and the
planned war on Iraq in particular. The protests were the result of a call to action by the
Stop War[?] coalition and other radical
socialist,
anarchist and
communist groups.
Accoring to the UK
Independent Media Centre, "[a]round 150 different events included
critical mass bike rides[?], occupations, and mass demonstrations in Brighton, Manchester, Glasgow and London and many other places."
On October 31, people dressed as ghosts marched on the Parliament of the United Kingdom in London and succeeded in projecting "No war on Iraq" on the Palace of Westminster.
Protests in the US were against both the planned invasion of Iraq issue and the
Free Trade Area of the Americas agreement currently under negotiation.
