10\/27\r\nPeace Rally in Pershing Square & March Through Downtown <\/b><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\nDemonstrators gathered Saturday in Pershing\r\nSquare downtown to stage a rally and march in protest of U.S. military\r\nactions and other destructive foreign policy related to 9\/11. \r\n

The rally, which drew an estimated\r\n3,000 demonstrators, was described by one participant\/IMC reporter as \"a\r\nreal professional demonstration,\" with excellent speakers supplied in part\r\nby Sunset Hall, downtown's radical retirement home, and good music and\r\npoetry throughout. \r\n<\/p>

After rallying, the diverse crowd set\r\nout at about 2:30 accompanied by the sounds of Rage Against the Machine,\r\nand staged a highly successful, very loud and energetic march down Broadway\r\nand through downtown. On this beautiful Saturday afternoon, the vibe was\r\npositive and the demonstration carried forth a good, consistent energy\r\nthroughout. The message of peace was met for the most part with positive\r\nresponse from the diverse crowds of weekend shoppers, tourists, and local\r\nresidents, and seemed to resonate loudly and strongly with the people of\r\ndowntown Los Angeles.\r\n<\/p>
