While Donald Trump had Toby Keith, the Women’s March had seemingly half of Hollywood—both up on stage and amidst the crowds.
The District was brimming with celebrities throughout inauguration weekend, and many of them were spotted demonstrating with marchers, leading chants, celebrating with family, and dining around town.
After performing at Busboys and Poets’ Peace Ball on Thursday evening, Solange Knowles popped up the following day at Sankofa Video and Bookstore near Howard University and reportedly bought 250 books for fans.

And on Saturday, while Janelle Monae, Madonna, America Ferrera, Ashley Judd, Alicia Keys, Scarlett Johansson, and others were performing and speaking the Women’s March on Washington’s main stage, many others were spotted in the packed crowds on the National Mall.

And so was Joshua Kushner, though he didn’t seem to want to admit it.
Another #WomensMarch marcher spotted Joshua Kushner, asked if he was Jared’s brother. He (reluctantly) admitted yes, said he was “observing” pic.twitter.com/2ppR0mWV6B
