Marchers: ‘I want to stand with my sisters’

A pink sign reading, "The future is female" is hoisted above the crowds of marchers, some of whom are wearing the signature pink pussy hats.

Hundreds of thousands marched in more than 300 cites across the world on Saturday in the second Women's March.

In New York, thousands crammed the streets carrying signs about the Trump administration, women's rights, reproductive rights and more.

We asked protesters how this year's march was different and why they decided to participate.

See what they said.
