The March 17, 2007 anti-war protest was an anti-war demonstration sponsored by ANSWER Coalition that marched from Constitution Gardens in Washington, D.C. to The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The date was selected to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, and also the 40th anniversary of a similar anti-war march that occurred on October 21, 1967.

Many cities held anti-war protests on this day, including San Diego, California; San Francisco, California; New York City; and even smaller student-run protests in suburbs such as in the downtown of Walnut Creek, California.^{[citation needed]}

There was a small sub-protest composed primarily of anarchists, a combination of Black Block members as well as members of various Socialist groups including the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade RCYB and the Revolutionary Communist Party RCP . The police officers on duty at the march utilized a number of less than lethal weapons including consussive grenades and chemical crowd control agents.
