Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez attends Women’s March in Washington

At the front of the huge crowd.

“The Women’s March I attended in DC – and the sister marches in New York, around the country and throughout the world – were a powerful symbol that we are not idly sitting by as Donald Trump starts implementing his radical agenda.

“It was nothing short of inspiring to see so many people of diverse backgrounds uniting to support each another, while raising their collective voice against Republican attacks on women’s rights, healthcare, workers and our environment.

“It’s my hope we can channel enthusiasm from this weekend’s events to affect positive change — and I remain dedicated to this fight.”
