Attendees sit under painted umbrellas as they gather for the We Are Woman rally for women's rights on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, August 18, 2012. Speakers at the event took on conservative politicians and what they see as anti-woman legislation, while asking their supporters to "remember in November" which side of politics they are on, and to vote in light of those policy differences at election time. REUTERS PICTURES Photo Credit: Reuters/Jonathan Ernst
