The rally started 5 p.m. and was organized by the International Action Center.
Protests erupted around the same time last year, when President Donald Trump ordered Tomahawk missiles to strike a Syrian airfield in response to a sarin gas attack done on civilians by the country's government.
This recent strike was again in response to a suspected chemincal weapons attack done last weekend. It was done as a joint effort between the United States, France and Britain.Demonstrators are calling on the U.S. and its allies not to launch any more missile attacks.
They are in favor of the U.S. being out of the Middle East and bringing all troops home as well as closing overseas bases.The organization believes the Trump administration is trying to start a new war in the Middle East.
