one of the more visible groups, code pink, opted not to do a large protest in the capitol as the timing was just before the easter break and the united states congress would not be in session, however local chapters had plans to follow members of congress and protest in smaller towns across the country. the washington d.c. chapter did push a pink bed on wheels down the street, urging americans to "wake up". members of the "granny peace brigade" delivered hand-knitted "stump socks" – "meant to keep the ends of amputated limbs warm" – to the department of veterans affairs. a "march of the dead" demonstration was staged near the women in military service for america memorial in arlington national cemetery. outside the national archives and records administration protesters laid a large cloth on the ground with the preamble to the united states constitution forcing those entering the building to walk over the text. nearby a masked man in orange prison clothing kneeled with his hands tied behind his back while wearing a sign – "no torture, no secret prisons, no detention without legal process," referring to contentious issues tied to the united states' treatment of prisoners. outside the white house protesters acted out a prisoner, dressed in an orange guantanamo captives' uniform – which signifies the prisoner has been labeled "non-compliant" – being waterboarded.
