Organisers say about 300 other protest marches are expected around the country.
Participants in the Peoples Climate March said they're objecting to Mr Trump's roll-back of restrictions on mining, oil drilling and greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants, among other things.
Congratulations to all those participating in the #climatemarch. We will fight Trump who thinks climate change is a "hoax."

In Augusta, Maine, protesters outside the statehouse said they wanted to draw attention to the damage climate change can cause marginalised communities.
A demonstration stretched for several blocks in the centre of Tampa, Florida, where marchers said they were concerned about the threat rising sea levels pose to the city.
"The D.C. #ClimateMarch is going to be huge." "Traffic is going to be snarled." I was skeptical. But they were right, this is a big crowd pic.twitter.com/PAKVsPPLWg
