YORK Against The War (YAW) protesters today rallied support for what could be the city's biggest anti-war meeting.
Veteran anti-war MP George Galloway will speak to supporters of YAW at the meeting, at Le Meridien Hotel, Station Road, on Monday. It will also be addressed by York academic and Middle East expert Haleh Ashfar, and Lindsey German, who edits Socialist Review and is a member of the committee of the Stop the War Coalition. Today, YAW members unfurled a banner and demonstrated on the city walls near York Station.
"We want as many people as possible to come to this meeting," said YAW spokesman Frank Ormston.
The meeting will start at 7pm.
