Thousands of people, mostly women, took to the streets of Washington, New York and Seattle on Saturday to protest against President-elect Donald Trump two days before his inauguration. The People’s March, formerly known as the Women’s March, has been held annually since 2017. The first edition of the march was held after Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Then 500 thousand people took to the streets.

The BBC notes that fewer people took part in Saturday’s public march in Washington than in previous editions. Organizers expected 50,000 people to attend, but about five thousand demonstrators showed up. The Associated Press reported that the marchers chanted slogans related to women’s rights, the rights of LGBT people, the rights of immigrants, as well as the climate and the defense of democracy.
One of the protesters told the BBC that he came to show his support for the existence of abortion. “I’m really sad that our country is relying on a president who has already let us down once,” he said.
