See the Most Moving Images from the October 2020 Women's March

On Saturday, the fifth Women's March took place in D.C. and in hundreds of cities across the U.S.

"We're holding socially distant actions across the country to send an unmistakable

message about the fierce opposition to Trump and his agenda, including his attempt to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat," the Women's March website read ahead of the October 17 march.

The day also seemed to be a chance for marchers to pay tribute to the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on September 19. Marchers went past the Supreme Court building, some wearing face masks featuring RBG-inspired lace collars. One large sign displayed over the D.C. March read, "March to honor her seat."

Many protesters shared their feelings about the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett and what it could mean for Roe v. Wade. Following the Senate hearings for Barrett's confirmation, reproductive rights activists have expressed concern over Barrett's response when questioned about Roe.

"She will undermine our access to reproductive health care, to abortion from voting rights to climate change," Goss Groves, of the National Women's Law Center, told crowds in D.C. "She refused to even answer basic questions."

Although Barrett's nomination might highlight the fight for Roe in this country, protecting reproductive freedoms has been a central message at the Women's Marches since the first organized even in 2017.

"Our rights are not up for debate, the Center for Reproductive Rights, a sponsor of the march, wrote in a press release then. "We will refuse to go backwards on access to reproductive health care for all women. The Women's March happening in D.C. and across the U.S. marks the beginning of an unprecedented wave of action and civic participation that will not relent until our rights re respected."

Here are some of the best social images from yesterday's national marches.

Lots of tributes to RBG

If you have never had your rights challenged by a Supreme Court vote, you are privileged. I have a hard time coming up with who fits that description, other than straight, white men. However, it’s straight, white men so often put in charge of deciding what a woman can/can’t do with her body. Justice Ginsburg was our Hail Mary Pass for so many years, breaking glass ceilings regarding Women’s health, rights, and equality. As per tradition (not law-we’re aware it isn’t a law, assholes), a vacant seat on the Supreme Court is *not* filled until *after* an election if it is vacated during an election year. Most previously, that tradition was called into play by Senate leader Mitch McConnell in 2016. We are two weeks away from the election. We are demanding her seat be filled *after* the 2020 Presidential Election. We honor her memory. It is already a blessing. But we told you, it would also be a force to be reckoned with. ???? #ThisisForRuth
