Thousands of people gathered in Washington, D.C. for the People's March, protesting against threats to reproductive rights and other social justice issues. The rally, rebranded from the original Women's March, seeks to broaden support and address a wider range of concerns, including feminism, racial justice, and anti-militarization.
Thousands of people from around the United States were rallying in the nation's capital Saturday for women's reproductive rights and other causes they believe are under threat from the incoming Trump administration, reprising the original Women's March days before President-elect Donald Trump's second inauguration.
This year, the march was expected to be about one-tenth the size of the first one and comes amid a restrained moment of reflection as many progressive voters navigate exhaustion, disappointment and despair after Harris’ loss. The comparative quiet contrasts sharply with the white-knuckled fury of the earlier inaugural rally as massive crowds shouted demands over megaphones and marched in pink pussyhats in response to Trump's first election win.
