Protesters Descend on Major Cities in 3rd Annual Women's March
Women marched in hundreds of U.S. cities and overseas Saturday to mark the second anniversary of demonstrations that drew millions of protesters to the streets the day after right-wing President Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2017.
Women's March, a national nonprofit organization that evolved from the initial Washington march, is again hosting its main event in Washington, with hundreds of "sister" marches in other cities.
March On, a separate grassroots coalition that also grew from the original march, has coordinated hundreds of marches in cities such as Boston, Houston, Baltimore and Denver.
Leaders of both groups say they will use this year's marches to push policy related to raising the minimum wage, access to reproductive and healthcare and voting rights, among other issues. They are aiming to mobilize women to vote ahead of the 2020 elections when Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee for president.
