Hundreds gathered in Manhattan  on Saturday to march for world peace.  
The United National Anti-War Committee organized peace rallies with dozens 
of  speakers and demonstrators.  
Protesters marched from Union Square to Foley Square, calling for an end to 
 the wars overseas and an immediate withdrawal of U-S forces from Iraq and  
Afghanistan. 
"We think that instead of being at war with Iraq or Afghanistan, the United 
 States should spend its money on social programs and education programs 
here at  home instead," said Kay Sweeney of the United National Anti-War 
Committee.  
"A lot of what we're doing is really trying to come together across 
movements  in support of labor organizing, in support of communities being targeted 
right  now by U.S. wars," said Kimber Heinz of the War Resisters League. 
Protestors also demanded cuts to military spending to fund programs for 
jobs,  education, health care, housing and the  environment.
