I tried to photograph as many signs and people as I could. This collection of photographs is a sampling from the day. This is from Wikipedia. "The Women's March was a worldwide anti-Donald Trump protest on January 21, 2017, to protest legislation and policies regarding human rights and other issues, including women's rights, immigration reform, healthcare reform, the natural environment, LGBQT rights, racial equality, freedom of religion, and workers' rights. The rallies were aimed at Trump, immediately following his inauguration as President of the United States, largely due to statements and positions attributed to him regarded by many as anti-woman or otherwise offensive. It was the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history. The Washington March drew at least 500,000 people, and worldwide participation has been estimated to be 5 million people. Officials reported that 673 marches took place worldwide, on all seven continents, including 29 in Canada, 20 in Mexico, and one in Antarctica. In Washington D.C. alone, the protests were the largest political demonstrations since the anti-war protests against Vietnam in the 1960s and 1970s, with both protests drawing in similar numbers. The Women's March crowds were peaceful, and no arrests were made in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Seattle, where an estimated combined total of 2 million people marched."
