Wearing pink, pointy-eared hats to mock the new president, hundreds of thousands of women and men took to the streets in the nation’s capital and cities around the world Saturday to send Donald Trump an emphatic message that they won’t let his agenda go unchallenged over the next four years. Michelle Sanchez Jones, a Hall County resident and former candidate for the Georgia legislature, arrived in Washington by bus early Saturday morning to find an estimated 500,000 protesters sharing “a feeling of camaraderie and solidarity and outrage.” The Washington rally alone attracted over 500,000 people according to city officials, more than double expectations.
