Student March Against AIDS, finally done

This is a bit late, but the march was a wild success. GW's awesome canvassers and volunteers brought over 500 students to the opening rally at Lafayette park, where the demonstrators neared 4000. After a great set of short speeches, the mass moved down 15th to Constitution Avenue and on to the Capitol. The march moved at a good clip for the two miles, and stayed loud all the way; I credit this to (a) great marshals, (b) passionate students, and (c) the guy with the bagels. Whatever the reasons, a huge crowd of energized marchers stormed Upper Senate Park to listen to more speeches. Aside from a minor glitch at the end, when Adam misspoke the colors of the pills in his Matrix metaphor as green and purple, the final rally went swimmingly, even ending within 10 minutes of our 2 pm deadline.

I took over 130 pictures, which are all on flickr. Click on the picture to get to the photoset.
