The Screen Actors Guild Awards were Sunday night, but another gathering over the weekend proved to be an even bigger draw for A-list Hollywood types: the second annual Women’s March.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters and activists marched across the state on Saturday. In Los Angeles alone, an estimated half-million people gathered downtown wearing pink hats and bright costumes; participants chanted, delivered rousing speeches and warned against political apathy.

The marches this year were marked indelibly by the #MeToo movement, with Hollywood celebrities and activists taking the stage in Los Angeles to urge a social reckoning on sexual harassment and assault.

The Academy Award winner Viola Davis gave a stirring speech about the intersection of racial discrimination and women’s rights, denouncing the disproportionately high levels of sexual assault against women of color. She urged attendees not to forget women who do not have a voice.
