33 Photos From The Women's March That Will Make You So Damn Proud

Jan. 20, 2017 marks a major anniversary in American political life. One year ago, President Donald Trump was inaugurated, months after narrowly winning the election. And Jan. 21 is the first anniversary of the Women's March on Washington, and it's being marked by yet another round of massive demonstrations, albeit one day early. (The organizers of last year's Women's March on Washington put together a rally this year on Jan. 21 in Las Vegas.) If you're curious to see what the marches across the country looked like, here are 33 photos from the 2018 Women's March on Saturday.

Just like last year, there are marches happening across the United States, with the main, flagship march taking place in the nation's capital. Thousands of people are currently marching in Washington, D.C. as a show of opposition and resistance, and it's made for some striking and inspiring images, all against the backdrop of a Republican-controlled government. Major marches are also going down in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Boston, and other cities throughout the country.

It's the kind of climactic day of public activism that tens of thousands will have memories of participating in for the rest of their lives, and the sights and sounds will be seen and celebrated by many. Here are 33 images from the huge day of marches.

This much, however, seems clear: going strong on its second year, and with enormous moral force, the Women's March has all the makings of an ongoing, annual event.
