Antiwar March Map
Big antiwar march — who’s going (or went)? The following map (ganked and slightly modified from the Washington Post) should show you where to go — or what to avoid, depending on which way you lean or what you need to do in the area today:
Avoid it like the plague!
Don’t avoid it! Embrace democracy!
I went and shot a ton of photos. Here’s one to start off:

I do embrace democracy… including my right to freakin’ get where I’m trying to go.
Thanks for posting the map. :)
Looking at this map, I’m struck by the odd need for protests to “march”. Just what does walking in a circle accomplish? When people used to march from the site of an injustice to a seat of power, marches meant something.
This “march”, like too many recent ones only means there is weak planning.
And what the hell are Barack and Eleanor doing on the map?
I do embrace democracy, but I don’t consider weekly disruptions of civil life near our Capitol to be a good part of democracy.
I got some amazing pictures (I think :-) but the bst are the ones I got in the end when ther was a confrontation between a group of young people and the police.
Here they are:
