Demonstrators move slowly through an entrance to the National Mall, following speeches at the Women’s March on Saturday, on their way toward the White House. Event organizers estimated that more than 1 million people attended, while police put initial crowd estimates between 500,00 and 800,000. Many in the crowd wore pink “pussyhats” in response to President Donald Trump’s comments during an interview in 2005.
