Steinem thanked the crowd for showing up, declaring, \"We have people power, and we will use it.\"
\"Thank you for understanding that sometimes we have to put our bodies where our beliefs are. Sometimes pressing Send is not enough,\" she said to the crowd, many of whom wore bright pink knitted hats.

Steinem suggested that the size and energy of the gathering was a positive outgrowth of Trump's election and inauguration.
\"This is the upside of the downside. This is an outpouring of energy and true democracy like I have never seen in my very long life. It is wide in age. It is deep in diversity,\" Steinem said.
She praised \"our great leaders\" Barack and Michelle Obama, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, \"who told the whole world that women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights,\" quoting Clinton's speech at a United Nations conference in 1995.
Steinem then turned her focus to Trump.
The new president's \"Twitter finger must not become a trigger finger,\" she said.
Shortly before Steinem took the microphone, Ferrera was one of the first speakers at the rally before the march, calling for supporters to \"fight, oppose\" the Trump administration.

\"Marchers, make no mistake. We are — every single one of us — under attack. Our safety and freedoms are on the chopping block,\" she said.
Some of the homemade signs at the rally were related to Clinton, Trump's campaign rival. One read, \"Still with her,\" a play on Clinton's campaign slogan, and another read, \"Lock him up,\" flipping a chant that some Trump supporters directed at Clinton during the campaign. Several \"Stronger together\" posters from the Clinton campaign were spotted as well.
While she wasn't there in person, Clinton gave her support via Twitter.
Thanks for standing, speaking & marching for our values @womensmarch. Important as ever. I truly believe we're always Stronger Together.

During his speech, Moore railed against Trump, telling marchers to take action against his administration.
\"We have to get busy, folks. We've got our work cut out for us,\" Moore said.

In Chicago, organizers canceled the march portion of their event for safety reasons because of an overflow crowd of an estimated 250,000. People made their way through the streets on their own anyway. In New York, well over 100,000 marched past Trump's home at glittering Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. More than 100,000 gathered on Boston Common, and a similar number demonstrated in Los Angeles.
In Miami, real estate agent Regina Vasquez, 51, had a sign saying \"Repeal and replace Trump.\"
\"I believe that strength is in the numbers and that we should all come out and not make Trump the new normal,\" she said.
More than 600 sister marches were planned worldwide. Crowd estimates from police and organizers around the globe added up to well over a million.
