There was quite a big pupils strike here in Rotterdam where I went to and I didn't go to school, most likely i'll get into trouble but I don't care.

We had a demo at the city hall this evening and tommorow at 19:00 there's going to be another demo at the Schouwburgplein if anyone is from somewhere in/near Rotterdam.

Of course Saturday is the big National Demo in Amsterdam.

I didn't walk out of school but I did go to the protest at 6pm and it was awesome. Unfortunately I had to go at 7 so I missed the other protesters gate crashing Canterbury cathedral which must have been something.

It was fucking awesome, I just hope we had a decent effect, hope we "woke up sleepy canterbury" as one as the "leaders" said, it's bloody conservative in that area.

I'm not to involved in the Anti-war movement, but I'm in touch with many who are.

Today at my High School, there was a planned 10 AM walk-out. I didn't participate in it though, because numerous people were just using it as an excuse to cut school, even more nearly everyone in my town is opposed to the war. The local government, passed some motion saying they were opposed to the Federal Governments war. I think it was a rather silly protest in my area, so I wasn't involved.

i organised a picket at my school leading to a walkut of around 120 to an amazing multi-school protest in parliament square of around 5000.
