On Saturday, January 21, 2017, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in cities across the country for a day of Women's Marches. In Phoenix, a capacity crowd of all ages, races, and genders gathered at the Arizona State Capitol and marched down Jefferson Street. They advocated for a range of issues — gender equality, racial justice, and immigrants rights, to name a few. All photos by Maria Esquinca.
