This is a video of the Antiwar Rally in Washington, DC yesterday. It was hosted by United for Peace and Justice. It starts with a musical group, "Emma's Revolution", and then has Jane Fonda at an antiwar rally for the first time in some 30 plus years. It then has a photo montage "slideshow" set to a cool song by Donny Marchand. There was over 500,000 people who attended, and the march was the first march to ever encircle the US Capital Building.

3. Thanks for this!

As one who was lucky enough to be there I will pass this along as a great representation of the days activities. The people were phenomenal. There were families with young children, college age young people, middle aged and seniors all standing shoulder to shoulder for one cause. Really, in a gathering of such wonderful people, political speeches are not necessary. The power is in the folks that walked, ran, drove and flew to be there in order to stand together as one! For me it was a 'Close Encounters of a Third Kind' moment! It rocks that we were the first to march around the US Capital Building. Peace to you , Kim

4. Sure...

I noticed a lot of Vets, Active Duty Service Members, Gold Star Families, etc.....just a great representation of the service members. You are right, it was a wide swath representing America.
