Where so many showed up organizers had to change the route. Saturday night im walter perez. The big story is the womens march across the nation. Small towns and major cities, crowds exceeded estimates as millions made their voice heard. Team coverage of the protests, action news is live at the ben franklin parkway but we begin in washington, dc. And guys it has been quite 24 hours. Reporter to say least, walter, we we dont have to agree with that, weve been here to witness whats happened. Were standing on independence avenue. This was the main stay for todays monument tall womens march on washington. Were able to stands here now, we could not have done that earlier. Hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets in washington, dc. Some thought and debate about the number but we do know this, the marchers had a permit to end at the white house if they had 200,000 people but they obviously had well over that number. Because they were not allowed to end the march at the white house. So much focus on debate on numbers for the people that came out it was about the message. Seeking to draw a contrast between what they see as a negative message of donald trump and a positive inclusive message today. And speaking of contrast. Take a look at this, a physical one, on the left. The stage where donald trump wa. On the right a long list of celebrities stepped forward in protest i wish you could see yourself Gloria Steinman brought downtown dc to a standstill stand. Star power and girl power. We march today for the course of this nation against with our new president is waging a war. Reporter the morning rally took on feeling of a purposeful parade. Groups filing down independence avenue shouting individual causes and revelling in common purposes, among them arising pilot star, new jersey senator corey booker told me this amount to a message to the new president. I hope he recognizes this area is greater american than the one he envisioned and hes the guy that has demeaned and degraded women, immigrants, communities you within the country. Theres only one way to make this country strong, to unite the country and this is people speaking out for love today. And what we heard yesterday, unfortunately was not that this is noon and this is a crowd been here at least six hours now with several hours left to go. And they tell us this is just the beginning we realize that were down but were not out and women are going to lead the resistance and the revolution. Reporter a rally they say builds on the pass and looks to the future. I am nasty like susan, elizabeth, eleanor, amelia, rosa, gloria, con lisa, son ia, michelle, hillary. Reporter and there, of course, ashley judd one of many celebrities. Celebrities will admit they were not the main draw, the main draw today, the message is a movement and the mantra has been empowering women. That is what it was about. That was the draw for the hundreds of thousands of people who came here and time after time, in the crowd, we saw faces from the delaware valley. Marching with a message. Donald trump go away. People of all walks of life walked to bear witness they wont want their civil rights taken lightly. I believe in equality for women, for sexual minorities the hundreds of thousands hoping to get the ear of the trump administration, but lara patrick of philadelphia this is clearly a president that isnt trying to better our country or better the people. Hes just looking to improve his family. Reporter a plight with a purpose and for, some its personal. Im here to represent my family, which is multiracial. Reporter it may be called the womens march but men from all over are backing the cause like ed med nick from west chester came with his wife and daughter two daughters and my wife, something i believed in many year, i want to support womens right. Reporter these park the demonstrators will hope will permeate beyond this day today is great, awesome to see so many people coming to the city where i live. But its more important to continue this for the next four years. Reporter and that will be the goal they say to Carry Forward with the message of their movement. Those who took part today proud to be here. That part of the day now ended. Of course, as the streets are getting back to normal, its time to break down all this equipment. Get the stage down and move things out now that the march is over you can hear it, the breakdown is underway. The city will be back to normal tomorrow morning, in the context of recent events, everyone trying to figure out just what that word means moving forward.

Reporter with instruments, signs and their voices, passionate protesters took to the streets of philadelphia, a massive show of unit about their show of concern for Donald Trump Administration rights for women will be eroded and all the progress made in the Lgbt Community i believe it has become a threat to many minorities, including women and people of color i think it says were not going to lie down, were not going to lie down during this presidency, we have rights we need fight for estimated 50,000 men women and children.
