More than 70 protests planned across US against Soleimani strike

More than 70 protests across the country are planned for Saturday to condemn the Pentagon’s killing of Iran’s top general, Qassem Soleimani, and the decision to send thousands more troops to the Middle East.

The protests are being organized by Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), a U.S.-based anti-war coalition, in cooperation with more than a dozen other anti-war groups. Protesters are expected to demonstrate outside the White House, in Times Square, at Trump Tower in Chicago and at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, among other locations.
