The two-day Labor Day Spill Into Washington Rally kicked off on Saturday with tons of protesters rallying against BP and their faults in April’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

“The quest for oil has influenced international relations to the extent of war,” the group posted on their website. “We will tell our government and the corporate world that we will not stand idly by while the powerful spin our world out of control. It is time to address the disasters that companies like BP, and the banking industry, mete upon the entire world, with regularity, and without regard for the destruction they create.  For two days families and individuals, of all political backgrounds, will peacefully come together, with ONE VOICE, to unite in our common struggle against abusive power.”

The rally took place on Saturday at Lafayette Park from 2 p.m.-5 p.m. and on Sunday at Washington Mall from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
