Here Are Some Of The Women's Marches Happening In Cities Across The US

The main Women's March is taking place in Washington, DC, but others are being held around the nation. Marches were also held around the world.

Chicago

All traffic stopped on Michigan Ave & #WomensMarchCHI hasn't even officially started yet #WomensMarch @smrtgrls

Thousands of women clad in pink descended on downtown Chicago Saturday morning, the Chicago Tribune reported. The event officially begins at 11:30 a.m. but crowds began forming much earlier than that.

Organizers told the Tribune that they expected a turnout of 50,000 people, a huge jump from the 22,000 they'd initially estimated.

The crowd grew so large, the march portion had to be canceled for safety reasons and the event was kept as a rally.

Due to the large crowd on hand, today's Woman's March has been changed to a Rally.

St. Louis

The #WomensMarch in downtown St. Louis! This is what democracy looks like.

Liz Tozlian Ireland told BuzzFeed News that although the crowd wasn't as diverse as she would have liked, "the speakers were fantastic. Black poets and advocates, a Muslim professor and activists of all demographics" showed up to the march.

The event had an estimated attendance of 11,000 to 13,000 people, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

New York City

The star-studded protests in New York City — which began Friday night when celebrities like Cher and Alec Baldwin attended the rally organized by Michael Moore — continued during the Women's March on Saturday when Amy Schumer joined demonstrators on the street.

Boston

The crowds at Boston Common, a park located at the center of the city, swelled far beyond expectations on Saturday as thousands of protesters gathered to march, the Boston Globe reported.

US Sen. Elizabeth Warren spoke at the event before the march, and told people that they had to resist the threats that a Trump-Pence administration posed to civil rights.

"People are worried. Donald Trump’s campaign was about attacks on women, African-Americans, Latinos, religious groups, immigrants," she said.

"A Republican Congress is eager to rip away health care from millions of Americans," she added.

Denver

Park City, Utah

Los Angeles

"It is so important that we fight together, now and tomorrow and the next day!"

Similar to DC, the Women's March on Washington in Los Angeles — which will end at City Hall — came to a halt at one point because there were so many people in attendance.

BuzzFeed News reported that the route was about a mile long, and that some people eventually dispersed to find a quicker route to City Hall.
