If you were online yesterday, your social media feeds were likely flooded with captivating images and videos from the Women’s March on Washington and various sister marches worldwide. These photos not only reflect the essence of the day but also showcase its remarkable scale.
To our new commander in chief, brace yourself—it was monumental.
Early estimates from Mother Jones indicate that over 2.5 million people participated globally, spanning more than 600 cities. The turnout exceeded all anticipations, especially in Washington, D.C. While 200,000 individuals confirmed their attendance on Facebook, the actual number of participants soared to nearly half a million. In several urban centers, crowds were so vast that many couldn’t march; they simply stood together in solidarity, holding signs and peacefully voicing their beliefs.
And it was nothing short of beautiful.
Among the cities where the energy was palpable were Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, London, Paris, Athens, and even Antarctica. Simply amazing.
