INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - Thousands of people have rallied in Indianapolis and elsewhere in Indiana in a protest against President Donald Trump and a call for women's rights and other causes.

The events were held Saturday in connection with a women's march in Washington. People gathered at the Indiana Capitol with colorful signs and slogans, including a woman whose sign said, "You can't grab our rights."

In Angola, the crowd was smaller but still passionate. Participants held signs seeking good-paying jobs and peace. There were also calls to recognize climate change.



The event started around 11 a.m. on the west steps of the Statehouse with several speakers addressing the crowd for about two hours. Numerous protesters were holding up signs and cheering in support of those speaking.
