Thousands gather in Washington for anti-NSA 'Stop Watching Us' rally

Thousands gathered by the Capitol reflection pool in Washington on Oct 26 to march, chant, and listen to speakers and performers as part of Stop Watching Us, a gathering to protest "mass surveillance" under National Security Agency programs first disclosed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden. Billed by organizers as "the largest rally yet to protest mass surveillance", Stop Watching Us was sponsored by an unusually broad coalition of left- and right-wing groups, including everything from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Green Party, Color of Change and Daily Kos to the Libertarian Party, FreedomWorks and Young Americans for Liberty.
