Thousands of people show their solidarity Saturday with the Women's March on Washington in a sister demonstration in New York City to protest the new president — right by his Midtown home.

"Everything's kind of in shambles right now, and it shouldn't be like that," one protestor said. "A lot of people's rights are not being heard."

The march's goals are similar to that of the Women's March on Washington, focusing on social justice, civil rights, equality, religion, and women's rights in the wake of a Trump administration, which officially began Friday.

The marchers left from Dag Hammarskjold Plaza near the United Nations earlier in the day and made their way almost right in front of Trump Tower.

They were expected to march right in front of the president's home, but police stopped them and cordoned off the street at 55th St.

Protestors then made a turn, went up Madison Ave. and made their way to East 57th St. to effectively surround the area near the tower on 5th Ave.

There was no traffic going up and down the street between East 57th St. to about a block past East 55th St.

NY1 was originally told about 76,000 people were expected in the city's march, but police on-scene said they believe there are many more people. However, no arrests have been seen, as the march has appeared peaceful.

"I think we're sending a message that we're powerful, we're worthy, and we're not just going to sit by idly while rights get taken away," a protestor said. "We're going to have each other's backs.

"New York is here. We're supporting people in the country who may feel oppressed or frightened by some of the statements coming from Donald Trump," said protestor Vanessa Moss.

Corey Ayala is one of those fearful of what a Trump presidency means for women's rights.

The 45th president and many Republicans, who now control the House of Representatives and the Senate, have threatened to defund Planned Parenthood.

Had it not been for the non-profit health organization, Ayala might not be here today.

"I feel very strongly about not defunding Planned Parenthood, because I have been personally touched by needing the service by not having healthcare," Ayala said. "I actually went in and was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and so through that I was able to get the help I needed and get on-track with my health and have two beautiful daughters."

Those daughters, marched with their mother and in solidarity with so many others for not only women's rights, but equal rights for everyone.

"I identify as LGBTQ and mixed, so there's a lot at stake here for us," Alex Fagundez said. "It's powerful for me to be here with my sister and mother."

And they were far from the only family marching. Chris Henze brought his nine-year-old daughter for a sort of lesson in civics.

"I'm really glad I was part of it," she said.

"It's what makes America powerful and great is that we're willing to disagree and that we're willing to show it and that we're allowed to," Henze said. "So it's a really important thing to teach my daughter."

Thousands of people had gathered at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza before the march began, with celebrities and public officials, including the city's first lady Chirlane McCray, rallying the crowd.

Protestors were expected to march from the plaza around noon, but people had to wait for the OK to move forward.

It appeared that the huge numbers of people slowed down the beginning of the march.

People were supposed to march in waves, with registered groups heading out to Trump Tower first.

Instead, some began to get agitated, with some attendees chanting "Let's march, let's march!"

Many Hillary Clinton supporters are in the marching crowd, along with men.

Cynthia Nixon, Rosie Perez, and Whoopi Goldberg were among the celebrities attending.

People from outside the city, including from New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, have come to march with New Yorkers, intending to send a message to the new administration.

"We've had these issues for years and years and years, and I've always said we need to get out in the streets and be heard," said a protestor at the plaza.

"Don't take away my ACA!" some protestors chanted, referring to the beginning of the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act.
