Peace Parade in Rome, Italy - Photos and Video

[stephinrome]

Our group, U.S. Citizens for Peace & Justice, participated in the "Peace Parade" today in Rome. It was an alternative to the military parade held every year on June 2, Festa della Repubblica.

4. Thanks, guys!

We had a good time. We always try to keep in mind that we have it easy here. Never a counter protest, and we are very much appreciated.
