The 2019 Women’s March in Albany faced a number of challenges: bitter cold, an approaching major snow storm later in the day, and a march route from the shore of the Hudson River up State Street hill to West Capitol Park. In spite of these challenges, hundreds of spirited participants showed up and marched. Here are some photos from the event.
