On Monday, over 100 antiwar activists were arrested in New York and San Francisco as they marked the fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. In New York, dozens of activists lied down in front of the entrance of the New York Stock Exchange.

Protester Margio Farr: “If people sit down and they refuse to move and they create a dent in the effectivity of the market today, hopefully that will send a message to government officials that this war needs to end and that corporations have to stop profiting off of people’s lives.”

A total of 44 people were arrested in New York. In San Francisco, police made 57 arrests after activists staged a die-in on Market Street. The action blocked the street for much of the afternoon. Pentagon whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg was among the arrested. Scores of activists also gathered in San Ramon, California, outside the headquarters of oil giant Chevron.
