September 24, 2005 saw protests against the invasion and occupation of Iraq take place across the world.
United States
Washington, D.C.
Protesters from around the country joined a march in Washington D.C. organized by ANSWER Coalition and United for Peace and Justice to promote peace and an end to the occupation of Iraq. Organizers claim that around 250,000 people attended the demonstration. Police said that 150,000 was "as good a guess as any". C-SPAN, which broadcast the pre-march speeches, is said to have estimated 500,000. The demonstration route was chosen to be close to the White House, though President George W. Bush was away at the time.
Representative Cynthia McKinney, George Galloway, Carlos Arredondo, Cindy Sheehan, Jesse Jackson, and former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark attended the rally.
The September 24 march also included over 300 members of Military Families Speak Out, which represents about 2,500 military families.
Other U.S. Cities
Several thousand attended a rally in Dolores Park in San Francisco and rallies were also held in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Birmingham, Alabama.
United Kingdom
Thousands joined a march from Parliament square to Hyde park. Police estimate that 10,000 took part but organisers put the figure at 100,000. The demonstration was organised by the Stop the War Coalition, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB). The protest was organised to conside with the washington protest and to occur just before the start of the Labour Party Conference.
Worldwide
Demonstrations were held in Florence, Rome, Paris and Madrid.
