Legendary SF author Ursula K. LeGuin led a march in Portland, Ore., on Dec. 6 to deliver a writers' and artists' petition against war on Iraq to Oregon Rep. David Wu. The march was part of a weekly peace rally hosted by the Portland Peaceful Response Coalition, an antiwar group.
LeGuin (The Lathe of Heaven) led a group of 50 protesters from Portland's Pioneer Square to Wu's office, where she expressed her gratitude for Wu's vote against a proposed war and urged that the congressman continue to do all that he could to stop military action. She also presented Wu with a petition signed by more than 225 writers, including SF&F authors Terry Bisson, Jeffrey Ford, James Patrick Kelly, SCI FICTION editor Ellen Datlow, Karen Joy Fowler, Michael Moorcock, John Kessel, Lisa Goldstein and Kelly Link.
