Wednesday, October 26 -- Marking a grim milestone in the Iraq war - the 2,000th U.S. fatality - Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) held an emergency counter-recruitment rally and march in Oakland. About 130 showed up for the 7pm rally that began with a drum circle. The rally featured speakers from POG, CodePink, Anti-Racist Action, and spoken word artist Jeremy Shenk. After the rally, POG led a raucous march through Oakland past two recruiting stations, periodically blocking traffic at intersections, before finally concluding at Carnegie Military University while chanting, "Military Research Kills, Disarm CMU!".
