It’s quieter than the days before Joe Biden’s 2020 inauguration, when the January 6 riot saw Trump supporters storm the Capitol building in a bid to overturn the results. Dangerously cold temperatures have forced the ceremony inside for the first time since Ronald Reagan in 1985.

But the snow hasn’t kept Trump’s critics off the streets carrying banners saying ‘We will not be silent’, ‘We rise, we resist, we march’, and ‘We make our future’. Cassie Dominicis, a 33-year-old financial analyst from Charlotte, said: ‘When you have so many millions of Americans voting like you don’t matter, it’s good to be in a big crowd of people that that make you feel like you do matter.’.

Some at the People’s March singled out the threat posed by Donald Trump to abortion, with signs saying ‘Keep abortion legal’ and ‘Keep your politics out of my uterus’. Although Trump promised to leave the issue to individual states, he previously stacked the Supreme Court with conservative judges who overturnedRoe v. Wade, which protected the right to an abortion.
