Hundreds gathered in Houston on Saturday to march for the second year in a row for women's rights.
The second Women's March in Houston got underway at 9:30 a.m. with a walk from Buffalo Bayou Cistern on Allen Parkway to City Hall, where a rally was scheduled for 11 a.m. Mayor Sylvester Turner was scheduled to speak.
Some women wore pink hats, others carried signs that read "Make America Think Again" and "Time's Up." Before the march, Laura Moser, founder of the Daily Action, organized a rally where women voiced their concerns on issues that hadn't changed since last year.
"This is just as historic a day as last year, " Moser said to the women gathered.
Kandice Webber, of Black Lives Matter Houston, urged women to consider the plight of minority women marching around them.

Other sources report in the tens of thousands.
Chron has an agenda......? Or just bad reporting?
