500,000 people demonstrate against the Vietnam war in Washington  DC while 150,000 demonstrators March at a rally in San Francisco. Just weeks after the demonstrations, an attempt was made to shut down the United States government. Among notables at the rally were Manhattan representative Bella Abzug and Bronx representative Herman Badillo, both Democrsts.             

Many veterans came home from Vietnam with a mission: to tell the truth about the wartime atrocities being committed and demand an immediate end to the killing. In April 1971, a group of more than 1,000 veterans launched the Dewey Canyon III operation, a “limited incursion into the land of Congress.” They camped on the Washington Mall without a permit, defying a Supreme Court order that they be removed, and brought their antiwar message forcefully to the national government and the media. The week of action culminated in a dramatic scene, as veterans threw their military medals over a fence at the Capitol.
