An estimated 50,000 marchers took to the streets of Philadelphia on Saturday as part of the Women’s March, an international protest against President Donald Trump (among other things).
That’s double the turnout the city was expecting, according to Lauren Hitt, a spokesperson for Mayor Jim Kenney. Around the world, roughly 2.6 million people joined the cause.
Needless to say, it was a chance for people to speak out – and to do so creatively, through their posters. In Philly, protestors journeyed down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway toting all kinds of signs.
We’ve compiled a roundup of our favorites:
