We the People March
The We the People March was a demonstration in Washington, D.C., in the United States, held on September 21, 2019. Background and purpose 

The march was advertised as an event to remind elected officials that they work for the people, its organizer Amy Siskind saying that, "The members of Congress and especially (Speaker of the House) Nancy Pelosi need to feel the pressure to hold the Trump regime accountable. They have failed at that." Siskind, who is well known for publishing The Weekly List, an online chronicle of what she calls the "not normal" events happening under the Trump administration, came up with the idea for the march over the summer after realizing that there was "a broad sense of frustration" among voters following the midterm elections in November 2018. She said that "I got the feeling that people wanted to do something. They wanted to take to the streets and march." While the march had a broad mission statement, participants organized around a number of specific issues, including gun legislation and calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. The march took place just three days before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the opening of an impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump. Activities 
The march in Washington, D.C., drew thousands of protestors, including Martina Navratilova. The crowd marched down Pennsylvania Avenue from a starting point near the Trump International Hotel and ended at the U.S. Capitol. 65 other solidarity marches took place on the same day across the U.S. In addition to Washington, D.C., activities were planned in the following cities:
