Demonstrators gathered in public squares around Washington, pounding drums, yelling chants, and holding signs in what was dubbed 'The People's March,' expressing support for progressive causes.
Protesters walked to the Lincoln Memorial for a larger rally with organizations hosting information tables that represented a variety of progressive causes from immigration and democracy to climate change.
While rebranding itself as 'People's March' to broaden appeal, this year's event saw a crowd of fewer than the expected 50,000, indicating a decline in participation compared to previous marches.
The event occurred under heavy police presence aiming to prevent clashes between anti-Trump protesters and supporters, highlighting the tense political atmosphere surrounding Trump's inauguration.
