In the van on the way to D.C., MIT students discussed their reasons for attending. "A lot of stuff is going on, and we're not getting a voice," said Michael Borucke. "To put an end to war and oppression and racist ideology and corruption and nuclear arms-- that's why I'm here."

Some in the group, however, wondered whether the message of the march would be diluted, with so many groups attending. What would the mainstream media even say about the event? "There is a root [behind all these issues]," said Martin Hunter, "bastards that do really bad things. But there are all these little groups with their own banner and flag. It's really weird."
