While senators were making their voices heard in Washington, so were people in the community.
Saturday night, a group known as the Columbus Peace and Justice Coalition met at Lakebottom Park.
The Peace in the Park event was to remember those lost on both sides of the war, and to speak out about current action being taken on the war in Iraq.
The gathering was one of many going on across the country Saturday.
“I think the time has come for the fence-sitters and the people who have otherwise just sort of stood by the sidelines to get out and have their voices heard as well,” says Brett Johnson.
The group plans to take their message to Washington.
A march on the Pentagon is planned for the fourth anniversary of the war.
The caravan will leave Columbus Friday, March 16th, hop aboard a Washington-bound bus on the 17th, and return to Columbus on the 18th.
