Democratic presidential nominee U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio is scheduled to be the featured speaker Saturday at the Rally for Peace, which will be presented by the Palm Beach Democrats and the Palm Beach County Peace and Justice Coalition.

A nonpartisan peace walk will start at 2 p.m. behind the Kravis Center, 701 Okeechobee Blvd., and the rally will begin at 2:30 p.m. inside the Kravis' Cohen Pavilion.

Elna Laun, president of the Palm Beach Democrats, said she has received calls from people around the state who plan to attend.

The event aims to demand action from Washington, D.C., to bring an end to the war in Iraq, Laun said. "This is tied to a national peace movement going on in the month of September," she said.
