Scenes From the Women's March on Montpelier
Thousands, maybe as many as 10,000, people attended the Women's March in Montpelier this afternoon in a jubilant celebration outside the Statehouse.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) made an appearance and addressed the crowd to thunderous applause.
"Too many women have fought for too many years for equal pay for equal work; we are not going back," he told those assembled.
The massive crowds caused miles-long traffic backups along north and southbound Interstate 89, according to Vermont State Police. Authorities suggested drivers find alternate routes to avoid the gridlock and temporarily closed exit 8 and exit 9. "Commuters will NOT be able to access Montpelier via the interstate and are advised to find alternate routes of travel until further notice," police said.
