"Save Me," Polar Bears United by Cory V. Clark
Washington D.C. - More than 40,000 Anarchists, Occupiers, Environmentalist surrounded the White House to demonstrate against the Keystone XL Pipeline; as well as, to demand real solutions to climate change issues.
The event began around noon in between the Washington monument and the front of the White house with music and speeches from various Environmental groups.
This march comes just a week after 48 people were arrested demonstrating against the Tar Sands also here in the nation's Capital, including several celebrities.
It also follows on the back of Obama's State of the Union speech where he spoke about climate change but gave no hard solution and even seemed to have Wall Street's interest in mind rather than the American peoples.

The march was officially led by several Native American groups including Indigenous Environmental Network and the Ponca Nation. But unofficially led by several groups of Anarchist and other Radical groups who seemed to motivate the marshals into moving the march along until they made it to the Lafayette Park side of the White House where several of the Marshals demanded they keep it moving while some groups cozied up to the White House fence.
