The Moreland Peace Group organised a rally in Victoria St Mall in Coburg
on Saturday. Over 100 people attended this local event held in conjunction
with local actions happening all over the world, as well as Australia. There
were many kids like those pictured at the rally.

Quite a few people took the opportunity to sip cappucinos while listening
to several speakers.

Reta Kaur, from Women for Peace made an impassioned
speech against war and the brutal effect of war on women
and children.
