There was a large and diverse crowd protesting the new Trump administration on Saturday during the Women's March in Washington, DC. And it wasn't just in Washington, protesters took to the streets leading like-minded marches in cities all over the globe.

Reporters Maria Murriel and Isis Madrid from our Across Women's Lives initiative traveled to Washington and posted what they saw on our AWL instagram.

Here are some of the placards you might have missed. Be sure to follow AWL on Instagram for the latest.

At the end of the day yesterday, as the #WomensMarchOnWashington reached the White House, marchers began to lay their signs on the fence across the street by the thousands. They stood in front of president Donald Trump's new home and chanted: "Welcome to your first day. We will not go away."
