Now, organizers of the Tampa Bay Women's March are working to create a non-profit organization to help spread their message.
"Our goal is to take the love and peace we felt in Washington and all over the country, and turn it into a movement to address the issues that are affecting our community," said Melina Welch with the Tampa Bay Women's March.
That movement started with a meeting and a list of objectives -- fighting for healthcare, the environment, education and equal rights.
These issues aren't new, however, for some, speaking out about what you believe in is something new.
"I never really understood, why do people march? And with Donald Trump's presidency, now I understand why people march," said Lakeisha Black.
Many people have said they're learning that politics and government are not spectator sports. Being involved is just as important as being aware.
"I've always been knowledgeable about politics, at least know what's going around, but I never necessarily felt the urgency of action. I never felt as inspired to have an active voice in the community," said Steph Andell.
Organizers hope their actions now will speak louder than words.
There are reportedly 20 similar chapters forming throughout Florida.
