Women's March Across US Protesting Trump Administration Saturday Jan 20,2018



Hundreds of thousands of women and their male supporters turned out on Saturday Jan 20,2018 for the second Women's March, a nationwide series of protests against U.S. President Donald Trump marking the end of his tumultuous first year in office.


The coordinated rallies in Washington, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and about 250 other cities featured speakers who blasted Trump for policies that many said hurt women and urged voters to turn out for congressional elections in November. Sister rallies were staged in cities overseas.

“Your vote is the most powerful tool at your individual disposal,” actor Eva Longoria told the Los Angeles rally. “Everybody who has the privilege of voting must do so.”

Many of the protesters wore pink knit “pussy hats,” which were created for last year's march as a reference to a comment made by Trump about female genitalia. The caps quickly became a symbol of women's empowerment and opposition to the new president in the early days of his administration
