One of the more clever signs at the march, this protester holds up a poster with a drawing of Trump grabbing a cat in reference to his previous leaked audio scandal where he bragged about grabbing women “by the pussy.” (Photo by Viraj Suri)

Not everyone at the march was actually in support of the march. This man’s shirt reads, “This Is What A Patriarch Looks Like.” In this photo he yells his opposing sentiments at marchers. (Photo by Viraj Suri)

A group of men hold up their posters in support of the march. Despite the name “Women’s March,” the organization made it clear that all people were welcome to march in favor of women’s rights. (Leana Sapp)
