Orcas women lead the Jan. 20 protest march, joined by millions around the world

Blustery January weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of participants in the Orcas Women’s March on Saturday, January 20. Nearly 100 women gathered at Waterfront Park to march in solidarity with other women across the country.

The protest marches were held on the one-year anniversary of the Donald Trump inauguration, which coincided with the first-day of a government shutdown.
