Marchers: Vancouver Turnout and Sister Marches

marchers: It was around 10 am, and the sea of pink was marching in solidarity with the Women's March on Washington, held to protest the Jan. 20 inauguration of Republican President Donald Trump, according to Vancouver Observer. One of 670 sister marches in 75 countries around the globe, the Vancouver turnout was originally anticipated to draw 5,000 marchers. The marchers were of all ages and backgrounds and their reasons for being at this rapidly swelling protest were as varied as they were. The reality exceeded expectations, with an estimated 15,000 joining the ranks of protestors. Monckton found out about it through Facebook, then realized there was a lack of organizers to pull the march together. Organizer Samantha Monckton said that planning for the march only started a couple of weeks ago. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
