The crowd may have been smaller, but the signs were no less poignant. Thousands of protesters showed up at Cambridge Common for the second Women’s March, banners in tow, and listened to speeches from Attorney General Maura Healey, Cambridge Mayor Marc McGovern, and others. Dystopia, female empowerment, and, of course, puns were popular poster fodder on Saturday from attendees of all ages (and dog breeds). Below, take a look at some of our favorite signs from the march:

May the appalling hate of others fuel you to step more deeply into your work as a warrior of love, justice, and freedom in the fight against oppression and bigotry #resist

Fun fact: in the state of Massachusetts you can pre-register to vote when you’re 16, and you’ll be automatically added to the voter rolls on your 18th birthday (and you can do it online in 10 or so minutes!)
