| Pax Christi, a religious group devoted to peace, turned out to swell the ranks of those demonstrating in front of the CIA headquarters Saturday morning. |

 |
| "STOP KILLER DRONES" |
 |

 |
| "U.S. Drones Out of Africa, the Middle East, Asia & Everywhere." An oft-repeated theme of the day emphasized the imperialistic overreach facilitated by drone warfare. |
 |
| "ISRAELI DRONES OUT OF PALESTINE (AND Everywhere)" |

| The march ended with a die-in, in which bloody-shrouded people lay in white masks to bring home the impact of civilian casualties from drone warfare. |
The Saturday demonstration was covered on PressTV, RT, and Liveleak.com. Simultaneously, demonstrators were making the anti-drone message heard in Boston.
