Thousands attend the National Women's March in Orlando and Melbourne

Orlando, Fla. — The National Women's March continued over the weekend, and people started showing up at Lake Eola in downtown Orlando as early as 8 a.m. on Sunday to join the cause.

Some of those in attendance include people from the Time's Up and Me Too Movements. Demonstrators held up signs about women's rights and say they're fed up with sexual harassment and assault. They also are calling for racial equality and environmental reform.

Hundreds of women and women also attended a Women's March in Melbourne Saturday afternoon. Demonstrators of all ages marched along the Eau Gallie Causeway, across the Indian River Lagoon.

Many carried signs with quotes of empowerment, along with some obscenities.

This is the second year for the march, which also lands on the one year mark that President Trump has been in office.
