For the third year in a row, thousands of San Diegans rallied and marched for women’s rights on Saturday, January 19.
The massive crowd – estimated by police at 20,000 – gathered at the front of the County Administration Building, listened to speeches and music beginning around 10 a.m. and near noon, the throng moved to Pacific Highway on the now-familiar march route for downtown demonstrations.

And although half the size of the first Women’s March the day after Trump was inaugurated in 2017, and not quite as large as last year’s, this year’s crowd was decidedly younger – with many youthful women participating. This reporter spoke to half a dozen participants who all observed a younger crowd.

Also, no organization has turned out protesters in such numbers three years in a row in recent San Diego history.
Enjoy photos from that day by two OBceans, Bob Edwards and Wayne Starker.
