But before they marched, protestors made signs to help spread their message. And their sign game was strong. Social media was flooded on Saturday with photos of these signs — some humorous, others heartbreaking in the seriousness of their reality. Most were seen at the Women’s March on Washington, D.C. — where as many as 500,000 people are expected. Sister marches were planned in all 50 states and six continents across the world. In Cincinnati, thousands of women—and men and children—marched from the Ohio city’s Washington Park to City Hall and back again, marcher K-T Overbey tells PEOPLE. “One sign said, ‘Twinkle, twinkle little Czar, Putin put you where you are.'” Overbey, who marched with her husband and two teenagers, shared some other signs she and daughter Kate, 15, photographed.

Congress is not America. We are America. And we are here to stay.” “We march today for our families and our neighbors, for our future, for the causes we claim and for the causes that claim us. We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our new president is waging a war. He would like us to forget the words, ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free,’ and instead, take up a credo of hatred.”
