Illustrated take on the Women's March
The day after President Trump’s inauguration, hundreds of thousands of people showed up in the nation’s capital on Saturday for the Women’s March on Washington. The crowd was more than double what the planners had predicted.
Our resident cartoonist Liza Donnelly was there, capturing scenes from the historic protest.
Sea of marchers
Protesters pack the Mall, where just the day before President Trump had been sworn into office. Many wore pink, pointy-eared “pussyhats” to mock the new president.
Protest signs
Many women marching took aim at some of the policies and actions they’re expecting during the Trump administration.
Alicia Keys
The singer performed her popular song, “Girl on Fire,” for the crowd in Washington.
Cecile Richards
“Today, we’re here to deliver a message — we’re not going to take this lying down,” the Planned Parenthood president said. “For the majority of people in this country, Planned Parenthood is not the problem — we’re the solution.”
"Women rock"
According to “CBS This Morning: Saturday” co-host Alex Wagner, who was also at the march, organizers were forced to abandon the route they’d originally planned because the crowds were so massive.
Ashley Judd
The actress and self-proclaimed feminist spoke to the crowd.
Sen. Kamala Harris
“We the people have the power! And there is nothing more powerful than a group of determined sisters marching alongside with their partners and their determined sons and brothers and fathers, standing up for what we know is right,” the California senator said.
Michael Moore
The filmmaker pointed to Saturday’s Washington Post headline that read, “Trump takes power.”
“I don’t think so! Here’s the power! Here’s the majority of America right here. We are the majority,” Moore said.
Rep. Maxine Waters
The California congresswoman, who skipped the inauguration to protest Donald Trump, went through his Cabinet nominees and explained her view of “why they are dangerous.”
Van Jones
“When it gets harder to love, let’s love harder,” the CNN political commentator and attorney said.
Janelle Monáe
The actress and singer performed “Hell You Talmbout,” a protest song she wrote about black Americans killed by police.
Men in hats
Many men also participated in the protest.
Muriel Bowser
“Already, an emboldened Congress continues to threaten the rights of women,” the Washington, D.C. mayor said. “Year to year, they tell us that we can’t use our own money to support low-income women and their health care. And now they want to make it permanent. You tell them to leave us alone!”
