Massive Protests in DC as World Waited for Trump to Take Office

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C., ahead of President-elect Trump’s inauguration, focusing on gender justice and other causes during the rebranded “People’s March.”


WASHINGTON, D.C. (2-minute read) — Thousands of protesters, primarily women, convened in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to demonstrate against President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. While significantly smaller than the 2017 Women’s March, the newly rebranded “People’s March” drew participants to advocate for gender justice, democracy, immigration reform, and local issues.

The event began with a “gender justice” rally in Franklin Park, where demonstrators emphasized bodily autonomy before marching toward the Lincoln Memorial for the main gathering. Meanwhile, two other groups held events near the White House, focusing on democracy and local Washington issues. Protesters carried signs with messages like “Feminists v. Fascists” and “People over politics,” while vendors sold flags and buttons supporting the cause.

Despite the passion of the marchers, the overall enthusiasm behind the resistance movement appeared diminished. Many progressive voters expressed fatigue after Trump’s landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, a campaign that saw him secure both the Electoral College and the popular vote.

Safety Tip: Always practice situational awareness when attending large gatherings or demonstrations. Be mindful of exits, monitor crowd behavior, and follow law enforcement instructions if needed.
