The snowstorm that swept through Chicago Jan.17 canceled hundreds of flights but couldn\u2019t deter thousands of participants who gathered at the Women\u2019s March Chicago 2020 the next day.<\/p>\n

The marchers gathered that Saturday to support gun violence prevention, climate justice, health care and pushed to get-out-to-vote, among the key issues galvanizing the fourth annual Women\u2019s March at Chicago and cities across the country.<\/p>\n

The crowd headed from Grant Park to the Federal Plaza shortly after 11:00 a.m. and the march ended about 1 p.m., though some marchers moved on to protest in front of the Trump Tower at Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m here at the Women\u2019s March to fight for women’s rights. We’re gonna have to do this until we get full human rights,\u201d Liz Ruiz said forcefully, carrying a hand-made sign featuring three of her favorite female heroes \u2014 suffragist Alice Paul, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and the late New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm.<\/p>\n

The crowd included some very young faces holding signs that were almost as tall as them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so cool to see all different ages here,\u201d said Jillian Marshall, a 19-year-old Loyola University student.<\/p>\n

\u201cYea, like you saw little girls coming, that’s so empowering. I mean, I didn’t go to a march until we were this age, so to see little girls coming and standing up, it’s just a really cool environment to be surrounded by other women who are strong and empowered,\u201d said Frances Aufderheide, a Loyola friend who attended with Marshall.<\/p>\n

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Illinois Lieutenant Governor Julian Stratton, Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), Congresswomen Robin Kelly (D-2nd) and Jan Schakowsky (D-9th), Cook County State\u2019s Attorney Kimberly Foxx and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle joined the crowd and led the march.<\/p>\n

Over 100 marches took place in other cities around the country at the same time.<\/p>\n
