Other signs include slogans such as No to sexism, ''Women's rights are human rights, and Our bodies, our minds, our power. President John F. Kennedy gave a famous speech in Berlin in 1963 when he said he considered himself "a Berliner" — a remark that helped keep up morale in the Western part of the then-divided city. Actress America Ferrera says "every single one of us" is under attack by President Donald Trump. The former Democratic nominee for president is thanking attendees on Twitter for "standing, speaking and marching for our values." There were early signs across Washington that Saturday's crowds could top those that gathered on Friday to watch President Donald Trump's inauguration. Metro subway stations and train cars are full in many locations, while ridership on Friday was well off the numbers from Barack Obama's first inaugural. The march's National Park Service permit estimated a turnout of 200,000, but the District of Columbia's homeland security chief had previously predicted turnout would be higher. In Wenceslas Square in freezing conditions, they waved the portraits of President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, as well banners that read: "This is just the beginning." Organizer Johanna Nejedlova says: "We are worried about the way some politicians talk, especially during the American elections." The mission statement of the Women's March on Washington says event participants are "hurting and scared" as Donald Trump takes office — and they want a greater voice for women in political life. The event follows a chaotic day in the nation's capital when protesters set fires and hurled bricks in a series of clashes with police.
