Over 50 organizations said they were participating in the march, citing issues like the Israel-Hamas war, U.S. immigration, poverty, housing inequality, racism, reproductive rights and education inequality.

One group said they would begin at Water Tower Park before marching south. The other group gathered at Federal Plaza before marching north.
