Eight years after the Women’s March drew thousands of protesters to D.C. ahead of President Donald Trump’s first inauguration, the same planners brought crowds together again Saturday for the People’s March.
Several grassroots groups descended on the District for a march and rally amid cold weather.
Organizers say the march and rally are part of a long-term resistance strategy to proposed policies of the incoming Trump Administration.
