PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Large crowds gathered in front of the Statehouse in Providence for the Rhode Island’s Women’s March, part worldwide rallies for female empowerment.
Many of the participants in Saturday’s march and rally wore pink and carried signs denouncing President Donald Trump.
Organizers said the event was focusing on efforts to register women to vote and connect people to social justice organizations such as Indivisible RI, the RI Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Day One, and The Woman Project.
Activists are hoping to continue momentum from the 2017 rally in Washington, D.C., and hundreds of similar marches that created solidarity for those opposed to Trump’s views on issues including abortion, immigration and LGBT rights
