Formed by many of the groups present at the 2017 Women’s March, thousands rallied for the “People’s March” in Washington, D.C. in support of women’s reproductive rights, racial equality, LGBTQ rights, and other causes.

Demonstrators surround the frozen Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to listen to a wide range of speakers just days before the Presidential Inauguration.

With such a wide range of groups and individuals involved in the march, the signs of protestors address issues such as reproductive rights, sexual assault, and equality.

A small group of religious, pro-life counter-protesters garner some attention from demonstrators attending the People’s March.

United States Park Police form a line between the opposing groups to ensure everyone remains separated and safe.

This demonstrator stands with their sign held high as the groups are divided.

Also seen during the March on Washington for Gaza in January 2024, protestors rally behind the “Peace Tank,” calling for environmental change and end to various conflicts.

One protestor shares a religious testimonial of reversing their sexual transition after becoming a follower of Jesus while passionately debating a march-goer.

Many attendees of the 2017 Women’s March, the largest single-day protest in U.S. history at the time, were present at the event.
