The following was originally posted to the website of the ANSWER Coalition.
People from across the country converged on Washington, D.C. on March 20 for a national demonstration in solidarity with Palestine. Co-sponsored by the ANSWER Coalition and Al-Awda: The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, the rally was endorsed by dozens of organizations in the anti-war, international solidarity and anti-racist movements.
The marched was called to protest against the AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) convention. Held annually, the gathering drew high-level politicians who declare their support to the racist Israeli regime and its oppression of the Palestinians. This year, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump gave speeches. Demonstrators were able to stand directly outside the convention center where AIPAC was meeting, unfurling a giant Palestinian flag.
