A chorus of protesters hit the streets of Washington Saturday, rallying peacefully and colorfully for a range of causes under the watchful eyes of police.
An International Monetary Fund-World Bank meeting, Middle East tensions, the ongoing U.S.-led war on terrorism and comfortable spring weather attracted thousands of demonstrators to the nation's capital.
Many of the groups, which generally focused on human rights and expressed concerns over U.S. and international government policies, converged at the U.S. Capitol around 3 p.m.
