| SEIU members gathered at the state Capitol before a 1 p.m. march to protest the Iraq War. |
 |
| Greg Leierwood, son of union members Bruce and Mary Jo Leier, built a mini-float to draw attention to the trillions of dollars of debt created by the Bush administration. |
 |
| At the Capitol, members of Code Pink held up massive banners listing the names of troops and civilians killed in the Iraq War. "Even though we worked solid for a month, every day, we couldn\'t write all the names," organizer Sandy Spieler said. |
 |
| Behind a huge banner, demonstrators left the state Capitol. Among those leading the march was Phyllis Walker, president of AFSCME Local 3800, representing clerical workers at the University of Minnesota. |
 |
| A statue of Minnesota\'s first Farmer-Labor governor, Floyd B. Olson, looked on as organizers signed up marchers outside the Capitol. Olson led many rallies for economic and social justice and no doubt would have approved of Monday\'s action. |
 |
| Many veterans and their families participated, including Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace and Military Families Speak Out. |
 |
| Steelworker Gerardo Cajamarca led marchers in a chant of "Si se puede!" |
 |
| The police presence in downtown St. Paul was unprecedented. |
