A Women's March event in the US capital has brought thousands to the streets in support of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Thousands of people have joined the Women's March in Washington DC as a feminist show of strength and to drive support towards the person vying to be the first woman elected president of the United States.
With the vote just days away, those on the street had several very clear and very clever messages for Republican nominee Donald Trump, including:The messages on the signs at the Women's March were hard to miss.The march was not a campaign event, but the Women's March organisers billed the event as a "powerful reminder to those in power that we are watching and demanding accountability – and that this November, women will win the White House".
That decision removed the nationwide right to an abortion and triggered a series of bans and restrictions at the state level.'It's a matter of life and death' "I'm here for my daughter, my daughters-in-law, my five absolutely beautiful granddaughters and for all women everywhere," she said. But she is not just here for women's reproductive rights. Ms Harris came to show her support for a woman of colour being installed in the White House."I'm a psychotherapist and a grad school student could diagnose him.Eileen Boyle, her twin sister Carole and two friends Mary Cahill and Kim Kroeger travelled from Massachusetts to be in Washington DC for the march.
Organisers originally planned the events to send a message to the new president, whose candidacy was punctuated by criticisms about his attitude towards women.
