The photos I share in this post are a little different than the ones I usually share. Last Saturday I spent the day at the Women’s March in Washington, DC. Estimates are there were about 500,000 people gathered on the Mall here in the DC, and another 2 million at sister marches around the world.
What struck me as I was photographing the event was the diversity of the people attending – men, women, and children of all races, religions, sexual orientations, etc and how committed everyone was to the issues they were advocating for.
From what I’ve heard from friends who attended sister events around the world, they had similar experiences.
I hope you are as inspired by these photos and the people who were advocating for issues that matter to them as much as as I was.
