Saturday was an incredible day of solidarity, respect, democracy and outrage. There were many causes and many chants. The people came from all walks but we walked together and supported one another. And it was mind-blowing.
As you might know, the New York City Women’s March (one of 636 such marches around the world) began near the United Nations, proceeded south down Second Avenue, went west on 42nd Street to Fifth Avenue, and then went north up Fifth Avenue finishing at Trump Tower. It was huge – hundreds of thousands of men, women and children joined together for this momentous occasion.
Rather than describe what I saw and what I felt, I’ll share the photos. Keep an eye out for Grand Central Terminal and St. Patrick’s Cathedral among other notable landmarks.
The signs were great. Some were a little raucous, others were simply about love, justice or equality. I did not get to photograph one of my favorite signs – it said only this: RUTH, DON’T DIE.
The words resonated around the world and I was so happy to be a tiny part of this incredible day.

TRUMP!
Thanks for posting these great pictures. I commend you for being an active participant in this great cause. It is saddening what is now happening to our great country. For those who are not fully aware how Hitler came to power, it is VERY similar to Trumps rise.
Thanks for posting. I was at the Seattle march. It was encouraging in these otherwise dark days.
Truly Amazing.
Thank you SO much for “voting” with your feet and for taking and posting these photos!
