The third annual Los Angeles Women's March brought out a noticeably smaller number than in years past to the streets of downtown, but the crowds (estimated at about 200,000) were no less passionate in their anti-Trump, pro-equality message, as seen in the thousands of colorful and caustic signs, banners, costumes and T-shirts that flooded the area, and as heard onstage and in the streets all Saturday morning and afternoon.
Though controversy concerning the founders of the national march sapped some enthusiasm for the protest, messages of resistance and mobilization remained at the forefront both in Pershing Square, where the march began (with Gloria Allred leading the way), and at City Hall, where speakers including Laverne Cox, Lance Bass, Anjelica Huston and the president of Planned Parenthood spoke out and rallied for the fight against our current government's discriminatory policies.
