Alicia Lucksted of Women in Black was a primary organizer for the Peace Path, both this year and last. She found this year that people were much less receptive while they were promoting the event. "Regarding flyering, it's been a different reaction where people are very cold and closed. They just walk by you. They just pretend everything's 'back to normal."'
She made the point that "We have destabilized a terrible situation, but in destabilizing we have left a lot of room for other terrible people to come to power. We put some of them in power." Lucksted was definitive in stating that the most important task ahead of us right now is ensuring that Bush is not re-elected.
