Thousands of demonstrators, mostly women, gathered in Washington DC for the People's March, protesting against President-elect Donald Trump two days before his inauguration. Previously known as the Women's March, the movement began in 2017 to oppose Trump's policies. Protesters rallied at the Lincoln Memorial, advocating for causes like abortion access, climate change, and women's rights. Organizers expected 50,000 attendees, but approximately 5,000 participated. Smaller protests occurred in New York and Seattle. Protesters criticized Trump's agenda, with one stating, "This time the stakes are higher." Meanwhile, Trump held a private event in Virginia as part of his inaugural festivities.
