Thousands of demonstrators have taken to Washington DC to protest against Donald Trump ahead of his inauguration.
Both President-Elect Trump and Vice President-Elect JD Vance will be sworn in on Inauguration Day, which will take place today (20 January). Before the inauguration, the masses participated in The People’s March (previously known as the Women’s March) on Saturday (18 January). The march has occurred every year since 2017.
Various groups organised the rally with differing aims, from “bodily autonomy, gender justice and LGBTGIA issues” to “Democracy, Immigration, Anti Militarism, and Climate” and “Police Brutality, Mass Incarceration and colonization”, as per its website. Smaller rallies against Trump’s inauguration also took place in New York City and Seattle.
