Organized by the /*Service Employees International Union*/, the demonstration was in support of /*President Barack Obama*/'s /*American Jobs Act*/.
The plan was proposed by the president last month, but all Senate Republicans and Some Democrats rejected it when it came up for a vote.

His first proposal includes aid for states to help teachers, firefighters and police officers keep their jobs.
"There is something there for everyone and the bottom line is that doing nothing gets us nowhere," said SEIU member Wyatt Closs.
