Thousands Protest Trump’s Inauguration Amidst Political Division
Thousands participated in the annual People’s March in Washington D.C., protesting President Trump’s inauguration. While smaller than previous years, the march brought together diverse groups united against “Trumpism,” advocating for issues including women’s rights, climate change, and immigration. Motivations among attendees ranged from anger and sadness over the political climate to a desire to protect abortion access. The march, a continuation of the resistance movement that began after the 2016 election, coincided with Trump’s arrival in the capital for his own inaugural events. A small counter-protest of Trump supporters was also present.
