Protests continue in the United States against a military strike on Syria. On Saturday, a few hundred demonstrators gathered outside the White House.

Carey Campbell: “The path to peace is peace and not war. On the question of chemical weapons, this hasn’t been proven. The U.N. inspectors are still doing their job.”

Candace Wolf: “The message is, I am totally against another military intervention by our government. All of the resources of our country should be put into the needs of the people of our country — healthcare for everyone, public education for everyone, quality public education — instead of military adventures.”

The latest polls show 56 percent of Americans remain opposed to a military strike, while 19 percent are in favor. On Saturday, scores of demonstrators also marched in Los Angeles.

Philip Makhoul: “I have family still living there. I have family fear day and night. They do not sleep; worry about what’s going to happen in Syria. They have people shocked in all Damascus now waiting for any bomb.”

Rosa María de la Torre: “I’m really pleased to be here today because it’s a very broad coalition. We’ve got all communities represented here, from the Middle East, from Mexico, from Latin America, from the black community. This is a—politically, it’s also very broad, and I think it’s very important that we all forget our differences and that we come together to stop this war machine.”
