Elizabeth Warren riles up crowd at Womens March in Boston [View all]

Senator Elizabeth Warren incited a crowd of tens of thousands who gathered on Boston Common Saturday afternoon for the Women’s March.
“We can whimper. We can whine. Or we can fight back!” called Warren, as marchers clad in pink hats and waving protest signs screamed their agreement. “We come here to stand shoulder to shoulder to make clear: We are here! We will not be silent! We will not play dead! We will fight for what we believe in!”
The Boston event is one of more than 670 marches being held nationwide and globally, a day after President Trump formally took office. Speakers in Boston included Warren, Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh, and Attorney General Maura Healey.
Warren conjured the core values of American democracy: respect for every human being, economic opportunity, and celebration of diversity. She called for raising the minimum wage, protecting unions, fighting climate change, shielding immigrant families from deportation, and making sure gay marriage is not undermined. And she called on supporters to draw motivation from Trump’s inauguration Friday – a moment she said was burned in her mind.
