Brittany Martinez came to Washington with friends and their mothers to protest for women's rights and immigration Saturday.
"We really wanted to come to support women, equality, immigration, everything that really feels like we don't have much of a say in right now," she told USA TODAY.
The six women were waiting in a park for the People's March, the largest anti-Donald Trump protest planned before his inauguration Monday, to begin moving. Martinez of Jacksonville, Fla. held a sign that said "Public cervix announcement. My body, my choice."
Thousands of people surrounded them in pink knitted hats, scarfs with the Planned Parenthood logo or Kamala Harris gear. A little girl sitting on her father's shoulders carried a sign that said "pizza rolls not gender rolls." Others held handmade signs that said "new year, same fight," "I'm pissed," "feminists Trump fascists" and Trust Black women."
