Images from the march for peace and justice from downtown LA to the Federal Building. Activists called for an end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and an end to occupation throughout the world.

The march attracted about 5,000 people on a hot and sunny afternoon. Vietnam Veteran Ron Kovic, Activist Danny Glover, and family members of those killed in the current US Wars spoke to the crowd..

Five Thousand? I don't think so... There were maybe 2000...I was there. I think it's time for the LA movement to stop living in denial and reflect. Why are people NOT participating? Could it be that they have an issue with the organizers -- are they alienating the people OR are people too busy dealing with the day-to-day issues of survival? Give it some thought before you organize the next march. It’s my opinion that the thousands of dollars ANSWER spent on this march would have made a more positive impact as a donation to a needy community organization. I think its time to reevaluate methods...can we afford to waste $$$ on public displays OR should we be spending more time and $$$ in our local communities educating people.

You could fertilize all of the farmland in the US with THAT one. Nice try, dipshit.
