CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Thousands took to the streets of uptown Charlotte Saturday to march for women's rights.
The women who demonstrated in the Queen City told NBC Charlotte they're optimistic that positive change will come to our nation.
"Enough is enough is enough is enough," the demonstrators chanted in uptown.
"On the one-year anniversary of the Women's March, we're still fighting to crack that ceiling," said Rep. Alma Adams.
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles was among the speakers at the march. Some of the demonstrators reportedly clashed against one another during Lyles' speech.
"When you come to city council and speak for your three minutes I do not interrupt you," Lyles said before the demonstrators. "If you would give me that same courtesy... I believe everyone has the opportunity to express their beliefs and I listen, but I don't interrupt and I don't treat people rudely."
Maggie Greenlee, one of the demonstrators, said women must stand up and use their voice.
"I'm here to take a stand and hopefully march towards something better," said another demonstrator Christina Adeleke.
Officials did not release the exact turnout for Saturday's march.
