The march was the single largest protest in American history, drawing millions of women to not only protest Trump but also raise awareness about a range of issues.

This weekend, women are marching again, around the country and here in Jacksonville. It takes place11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 21 at the Jacksonville Landing.
