This past weekend I traveled up to DC for the March on Washington, the annual anti war march organized by the ANSWER Coalition. I ended up attending 2 other events - and took a shitload of photos. :)
I'm still working on the March 20th photographs - I have to sift through about 800 of them (trigger happy). The demonstration was amazing, although a bit short (I'm comparing it to last year's march, where we marched to Crystal City and it took forever). There was an estimate of 10,000 people at the march. I had a severe headache the entire march so I wasn't too happy with the blazing sun. It was nearly 80 degrees out.
The picture above is of an AIPAC conference participant giving the finger to a protestor who...really hates Jews. Doesn't help at all considering we're protesting AIPAC as well, but with sound arguments. I hope they don't put us in the same category of crazy, LMAO.

Code Pink had a strong visual presence and their pink banners and outfits really contrasted well against the gray Convention Center. You can see the whole set here:
After the AIPAC protest, I shot the Immigrant Rights rally at the National Mall where over 500,000+ immigrant rights activists camped out from 1-4:30PM. Around 4:30, everyone began leaving and marching passed the Capitol and Supreme Court. It was a powerful experience walking with so many people, many of them with their families.
