The urgent color of orange — the color that has been assigned to those detained and tortured with no due process — must become the color of a gathering sentiment to end the Bush regime and reverse its program.
– Flyer distributed at Orange Fridays rally
Union Square Park is the site of countless protests and demonstrations. This evening I stumbled across a particularly colorful one: a coalition of anti-war, anti-administration activists holding the first rally of their “Declare it Now: Wear Orange” campaign.
Supporters of the group called The World Can’t Wait/Drive Out the Bush Regime vowed to wear orange every Friday to show opposition to Bush’s policies. They are calling for “impeachment, resignation or indictment.” The protesters plan to meet every week in Union Square at 5:00 p.m. and hope to make Orange Fridays a nationwide movement.
Please note: this political movement should not be confused with the Orange Fridays promotion sponsored by the San Francisco Giants baseball team.

“I’ve been doing this all my life,” she said.
I see “orange” and “parade,” and I think Ulstermen.
Great collection of shots…..
Orange reminded me of that Gates exhibition at Central Park:)
Somehow you saw our protest against export of coal to Asia and global warming and I’ll see your protest when it downloads. Liked your willingness to comment about your leader. Sand modelling is an unexpected sight, looks fun.
