More than a million women, men and children turned out in all 50 states over the weekend for what was billed as a "Women's March." Here in Los Angeles, estimates put crowds at several hundred thousand – and there were more rallies in Orange County, San Diego and other parts of Southern California.
After the march, organizers of the Official Women's March of Los Angeles posted a message of thanks on their website, reading: "Thank you for standing with us, marching with us, and making our voices heard. We are stronger together. This is just the beginning."
