Thousands March Against Felon-Elect In DC [VIDEO]

USA Today reports:

Brittany Martinez came to Washington with friends and their mothers to protest for women’s rights and immigration Saturday.

The six women were waiting in a park for the People’s March, the largest anti-Donald Trump protest planned before his inauguration Monday, to begin moving. Martinez of Jacksonville, Fla. held a sign that said “Public cervix announcement. My body, my choice.”

The march began at three parks spaced a few blocks from each other in downtown Washington, with attendees converging at the Lincoln Memorial for more speeches and a resource fair. Each location had a different interest focus like immigration, the right to an abortion and birth control, or climate change, so attendees could connect with a topic they care about.

Demonstrators from various parts of the country are converging in D.C. for the People’s March, some of whom had hoped to come to the nation’s capital this weekend for a different presidential inauguration. Jill Parrish, 55, from Austin, Texas, held a sign at a Metro station this morning saying women should resist the misogyny.

“I flew in last night. Honestly, I had bought a ticket to come to D.C. to attend Kamala Harris’s inauguration,” she said. “And, when that didn’t transpire, I decided to go ahead and I [changed] my ticket to come earlier and come to support this march instead and to leave before the inauguration, because the last thing I want is to be here.”
