Photos from the 2018 Women's March in Albany
Thousands of people gathered in West Capitol Park in Albany Saturday afternoon for a second Women's March, a follow-up to a similar event a year ago in opposition to the election of Donald Trump. It was one of many such events around the country this weekend.
The crowd at Saturday's rally heard from a series of speakers criticizing the Trump administration, Congressional Republicans, and urging support for immigrants, reproductive rights, environmentalism, and other issues.
A recurring theme this year: Many speakers encouraged the crowd, women especially, to run for office and organize politically.
Here are a bunch of photos from the rally and march around the Capitol...

Thanks for the pictures from home. Everyone I know was there, but I can't find any in the pics. Sob. We marched in Jacksonville, Florida. It was fun but not like HOME.
