Robert Weissman of Mobilization for Global Justice, a protest sponsor, said it has been harder to gather a huge anti-globalization crowd since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

"It's changed the focus of American politics so everyday working people, the media and the protesters look to a different set of issues," he said. "We really have the war on terrorism dominating the political discourse over the last 2 1/2 years."

A separate and much larger protest was coming together Sunday, in favor of abortion rights.
