1. check www.unitedforpeace.org
I believe there's a vigil or something similar planned, and there are buses to a North Carolina protest.

West Lawn of the US Capitol, Washington D.C.
March 19, 2005, 12:00 PM


March 19. A Silent Vigil for Peace. For 2 1/2 years, a silent vigil for peace has taken place each week on the West Lawn of the US Capitol. Started by Quakers, this vigil is not a protest, nor a march, but a non-partisan silent vigil, under the simple banner, "Seek Peace and Pursue It", a quote from Psalms 34. The vigil takes place on Saturdays at noon. Saturday, March 19 is the day before the second anniversary of the start of the War on Iraq. All are invited to join us, as we hope to fill the Lawn that day with people standing silently for Peace. Bring no signs or banners, just yourself and your hopes for peace.

West Lawn of the US Capitol Building. Look ofr our Banner: "SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT". Access from First Street near the Peace Memorial. Metro from Capital South or Union Station. Parking at US Botanical Gardens Building.
