March for Justice; Ventura, California
On January 21, 2017, millions of people all over the world gathered to "March for Justice."
The events are being held to defend the rights, safety, and health of women and families, and to celebrate the qualities that make humans diverse and inclusive in the world. "We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us," organizers said.
This year, the “March for Justice” has also become an unprecedented international rebuke of the new United States President that packed cities large and small — from London to Los Angeles, Paris to Park City, Utah, Miami to Melbourne, Australia.
The fear — and anger — at Mr. Donald Trump’s rise to the most powerful position in the United States reverberated at renowned protest sites around the globe with march organizers listing more than 670 planned events nationwide and at another 70 cities overseas.
Locales included Chicago, Boston, New York, Miami, Denver, Seattle, St. Louis, the Hawaiian island of Kauai, Juneau, Alaska, Philadelphia, Lexington, Kentucky, New Orleans, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Mexico City, Berlin, and Yellowknife in Canada’s Northwest Territories, where the temperature was six below zero.
In Ventura, California, marchers walked in a rectangular loop from Plaza Park, west on Thompson Boulevard, north on Figueroa Street, west on Main Street, and south on Fir Street back to Plaza Park, covering a distance of about a mile.
