Coalition takes peace protest roadside in Weeki Wachee

Coalition takes peace protest roadside Members and supporters of the Nature Coast Coalition for Peace and Justice hold signs at U.S. 19 and State Road 50 in Weeki Wachee on Wednesday. The coalition organized the demonstration to protest the escalating conflict in the Gaza Strip, the latest buildup of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, the failing economic system, and other issues. “We have a conscience, and there are innocent civilians dying” in Gaza, coalition chairman Brian Moore said on his blog. “We’ve been getting everything from honks to fingers today,” he said of the demonstration.
