There are plenty of things people CAN do if they can't make the march.
Ring your local radio phone shows + the BBC. Make your voice heard, many now accept emails. check out their web sites.
Don't spend money on US products till they stop invading other countries (if you live outside of the UK - then you can add the UK in your basket of non-shopping - hit these war mongers where there heart is i.e. their wallets). Choose Belgium, French or German products where possible, Belgium chocs are fantastic (better than anything the US or UK has to offer). Germany produced the first wheelchair, and for wine, get it from France.
Write letters to your local papers.
Contact your local M.P.
Send dog food to Tony Blair (I sent him a can of "Winalot").
Talk about the issue of war, in super markets, pubs anywhere - and how it will result in cutbacks against disabled people and other poor people here, wars don't just expend human lives the cost money as well.
Act as a point of contact for people going on the march, a phone link if anyone gets lost or arrested.
I'm sure there is more....
Yours for peace.
