From Boston to Los Angeles, thousands of people rallied on Saturday to protest the presidency of Donald Trump, including his handling of the war in Ukraine, his stance on reproductive rights and the firing of federal workers.

About 300 protests, organized to commemorate International Women’s Day, were scheduled around the country. Some, like the one at Washington Square Park in Manhattan, attracted at least a few thousand demonstrators. Others in smaller cities — including Richmond, Virginia; Sarasota, Florida; and Port Angeles, Washington — drew more scattered interest. In New York City, protesters expressed outrage at Trump’s treatment of Ukraine’s president, restrictions on transgender rights and what they see as the tearing apart of the nation’s democracy.

Nancy Lewis, 80, attended civil rights demonstrations in Selma, Alabama, as a teenager. Lauren Yoo, 26, had rarely protested before. Both were eager to join the crowd.
