By Gabriella Borter WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Thousands of people gathered in Washington on Saturday to protest President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, as activists for women's rights, racial justice and other causes rallied against incoming policies they say will threaten their constitutional rights during the Republican's second term.

The march took place ahead of Trump's arrival to the nation's capital as he prepares to be sworn in on Monday.

Tens of thousands of people rallied in Washington, D.C., on Saturday for the "People's March," held to protest the pending inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
