Petitioning for peace

Above, from left, antiwar activists Missy Beattie, Cindy Sheehan, Medea Benjamin and Reverend Patty Ackerman held a sit-in in Midtown while attempting to deliver a petition to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations on Monday. They were eventually arrested and taken off in a police wagon, at right. Sheehan earlier had met with antiwar Iraqi women visiting the U.S. for International Women’s Day.
