Peace rallies took place in Albany, Hudson, Woodstock, and other communities this past weekend, as conditions degrade in Ukraine. At Townsend Park in Albany on March 5 a rally was sponsored by the Green Party along with Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace. The event called for diplomacy and negotiation to end the war in Ukraine, and against the militarism of US, NATO and Russia. We hear from Peter Lavenia of the Green Party.; Mabel Leon of Women Against War and Grannies for peace, and Dan Wilcox of Veterans for Peace.
