Sponsors of the march included the American Muslim Alliance, the National Students for Justice in Palestine, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and A.N.S.W.E.R. The event was endorsed by over 450 organizations, including the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Palestinian American Council, Democratic Socialists of America, Jewish Voice for Peace, and others.[1] Speakers included Mohammed el-Kurd and Noura Erakat.[2]
