SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Opponents to the war in Iraq will join together from across upstate New York beginning this week for a 10-day march to the Army’s Fort Drum.

Organizers say the event, called New York State Marches for Peace, will include peace activists, soldiers and veterans from a coalition of groups.

The peace walk will begin Thursday from Utica, Rochester and Ithaca with the marchers converging in Pulaski before heading to Fort Drum, where the protesters will rally May 17 — Armed Forces Day — in a daylong event.

The march will unfold over several routes, passing through many towns and cities, and picking up people along the way. Organizers say people can join the march for one hour, one day, one week or 10 days.
