An Inside Look At The Women's March On Washington
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Hundreds of thousands of people are preparing to participate in more than 250 women's marches around the world.
The solidarity movement is for women's and civil rights and one, if not the biggest showings, is expected in Washington, D.C.
The large scale solidarity movement comes less than 24-hours after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, but several march organizers insist the march is not an anti-Trump march - it is a march on rights, especially women's rights.
Organizers said the women's march is meant to show global support for women's rights, human rights and social justice.
And on Saturday morning, the people pouring into Washington D.C. to fight for those rights.

Keep your rosaries, off my ovaries,
Keep your laws off my body,
Don't normalize, don't rationalize, don't close your eyes - Stand Up! Stay Strong! Resist!
The rights should never stop coming!
Men of quality do not fear equality!
The march on Washington was said to have a crowd of 600,000.
