Thousands gathered in cities across the country Saturday as part of the nationwide Women's March rallies focused on issues such as climate change, pay equity, reproductive rights and immigration.

Women take part in a rally before the Women's Women's March on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2020 in New York. Hundred showed up in New York City and thousands in Washington, D.C. for the rallies, which aim to harness the political power of women, although crowds were noticeably smaller than in previous years. Marches were scheduled Saturday in more than 180 cities.

“Today, we will be the change that is needed in this world! Today, we rise into our power!” activist Donna Hylton told a cheering crowd in Foley Square. Jennifer Siebel Newsom credited women for mobilizing against gun violence, creating the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and discrimination, and taking back the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives.

Several thousand came out for the protest in Washington, far fewer than last year when about 100,000 people held a rally east of the White House. But as in previous years, many of the protesters made the trip to the nation’s capital from cities across the country to express their opposition to Trump and his policies. From their gathering spot on Freedom Plaza, they had a clear view down Pennsylvania Avenue to the U.S. Capitol, where the impeachment trial gets underway in the Senate next week.

Peta Madry of New London, Connecticut, was celebrating her 70th birthday in D.C. by attending her fourth Women’s March with her sister, Cynthia Barnard, of San Rafael, California. Both women were wearing handknitted pink hats that date from the first march. With pained expressions, they spoke about Trump’s determination to reverse the policies of his predecessor Barack Obama and his treatment of women.

March2020

What do women want? The list goes on & on & on😂

Thousands visited pornhub, sex explicit PPV today. The vaginal line is showing. WomensMarch2020 has not a leg to stand as long as dignity, decency and civility are not what’s front and center.

Tell them get back in the kitchen and cook dinner for their families 👍 the kids they didn't kill are hungry 😉

perhaps they should try living under sharia law and then they would have a reason to chant and march.

Pink losers

The hypocrisy is astonishing. A woman's march advocating gender based abortions where the lives of millions of females are taken in favor of male babies.

Great

Climate change very important immigration let's first clean up New York California homeless situation poverty infrastructure first?

Good idea for women they should be treated equal no difference performance equal pay

Good photo

Get home and bake cookies

As I woman, I believe we should be supportive of men. We should be lifting them up and telling them that masculinity is not toxic.

They did? Who noticed?

Thousands,...really just thousands?

Imagine if all those women used this energy towards helping our environment. Cleaning up after all the homeless camps, donating time to local shelters, food kitchens, doing SOMETHING besides wearing pussy hats and carrying signs that do nothing.

Yet mystically no prolife, conservative, or happily female women attended.

The real culture war is WOMEN v. TRADITIONAL MEN

Climate change, but not human trafficking and domestic abuse?

I was working

While thousands gathered thousands of dollars went into organizers pockets.🤑🤑🤑

The filthiest people on the planet are marching in protest.

she is wearing a ‘fund women of color’ pin. No black ppl in the photo. 🤣

Killing babies even after they're born. Hooray for the abortion queens!! When does a baby's Constitutional rights begin?

Soros funds all the women’s marches. He want women to fight instead of staying home with their children. Climate change is a blessing from God. Abortion is murder. Everything else is debatable. Protests are a waste of effort.

Lame

A circus sideshow

So proud of you ladies. I’m 65 in a couple months. Never quit fighting. We’ve made amazing strides but if we don’t turn the tide in 2020, we may as well head back to the 50’s! Love you all 💕☮️

Nanci trophy impeachment pen😋

Angry misdirected women full of hate!

Accomplished nothing

Women Now Hold More Jobs Than Men In The U.S. WorkforceWomen hold more jobs than men, occupying 50.04% of positions. What's really disheartening is the fact that even though women hold more jobs in the workforce they still somehow make less money than the men who don't even have jobs. It's really disgusting honestly. And they can’t understand why they can’t find a good man that makes more money than them to retire them so a woman can have kids at age 28-35. Total mystery isn’t it? Clearly there should be a massive federal program instituted to get men better paying jobs and equality.
