The Women’s March on Washington took place Saturday, bringing a crowd that, by the looks and estimates, outnumbered the people who turned out to the National Mall for U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration a day earlier.
The march was estimated to have brought over half a million people to D.C., as people “join[ed] in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore.”
