Thousands attend Women's March in Pittsburgh

Thousands marched through downtown Pittsburgh on Sunday calling for equality and respect.

People of all ages and races marched as one today - wearing pink hats and carrying signs that read "A women’s place is in resistance,"  "Climate change is real," and "Vote them out."

Today's message -- "Power to the polls,"

"We talk about inequality all the time. Sexism, racism, We are very open in our house about talking about the changes we will need to be made," said Rebecca Strickland, who was part of the march.

This national movement started last year celebrating women's successes locally and across the country.

Women in Pittsburgh are eager to build on this movement and translate their passion into electoral victories in this year's midterm elections.

"We need to get back to a place where we are a fully inclusive society where we can realize the founders dream of all people are created equal,” said Braddock Mayor John Fetterman.

This was the second annual Women's March in Pittsburgh.

The crowd marched from the City-County Building to Market Square, where community organizers spoke.
