A day after Donald Trump was sworn in as the nation's 45th president, thousands of people are descending upon Washington, D.C., to participate in Saturday's Women's March.

The march — which kicked off with a rally at 10 a.m. featuring speakers and musical acts — is based on a mission that the rhetoric of the 2016 election cycle "insulted, demonized, and threatened": Americans, leaving communities “hurting and scared.”
