    On the anniversary of the Women's March in Washington, D.C., organizers say marches this year are less about outrage and more about political organizing.

    Hundreds of thousands gathered in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 21, 2017 for the Women's March. Organizers are rallying in Las Vegas this year.

    On Sunday, people around the country will mark one year since the Women's March on Washington, D.C. Last year it brought hundreds of thousands of liberals to the capital, many wearing pink knitted caps in solidarity. Others marched in hundreds of cities and towns across the United States and more than 80 other countries.

    Last year's march was definitively in protest of President Trump, coming just a day after his inauguration. A year on, the organizers of that national march are marking the anniversary with a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday as more than 300 towns and cities organize their own anniversary marches and rallies through the weekend.

    With midterm elections approaching, the theme this year is less National and local organizers say they chose Las Vegas because it is an example of successful grassroots progressive organizing. In 2017, Nevadans elected the country's first Latina senator, Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto.
