The Women’s March on Washington, and its sister marches around the world, brought together more than a million people determined to stand in solidarity against the misogyny, xenophobia and bigotry demonstrated by President Donald Trump.
Among the crowd were thousands of people of faith ― Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs and many more ― who took their spiritual convictions to the streets. These inspired marchers followed in the footsteps of so many faithful activists before them, praying with their feet for a better future.
People of faith at Women’s Marches around the country shared their photos and reflections on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Here are just 22 posts from faith-inspired marchers:
