The scene was much the same all over the country and across the world today (Friday, Jan. 21). From Washington, D.C. to New York City, Chicago and Boston, down to Atlanta, Key West, over to St. Paul, Denver, Phoenix and Los Angeles, millions marched in protest of yesterday’s inauguration of Donald Trump. Protesters gathered in the states as well as in 20 countries to protest the newly inaugurated President’s agenda and to support an array of causes from women’s rights and LGBTQ rights, to Black Lives Matter and excoriations of xenophobia.
