March for Science demonstrators make colorful protest

Thousands of people joined the March for Science on Saturday in Washington, D.C., and at sister marches around the world, with many bringing colorful signs to express their thoughts on the environment.

Organizers of the March for Science said the event was not meant to be a partisan affair, but President Trump’s agenda – including his proposed budget cuts to federal research and actions targeting U.S. climate change work – were among the protest issues.
