For the second year of Women's March, a couple of celebrities were spotted along with thousands women and men all across the US making noise in the streets on Jan. 20.

Amy Schumer, Laura Benanti, Halsey, Padma Lakshmi, Whoopi Goldberg, and Yoko Ono were spotted at the Big Apple, marching with fans and other protesters. Meanwhile, Natalie Portman, Ilana Glazer, Jennifer Lawrence, Adele, Cameron Diaz, Constance Wu, Eva Longoria, and a couple more others held the fort in Los Angeles.

Last year, the Women's March was formed and held to protest against Donald Trump's inauguration as the US President. This year, it's more about the rampant sexual abuse scandals plaguing Hollywood and other industries, the political climate, as well as to celebrate the forming of the Time's Up initiative and #MeToo movement.

Some celebrities also spoke up during the March, including Natalie Portman, Halsey, Whoopi Goldberg, Scarlett Johansson, and more.

Halsey stunned the crowd by performing a poem that detailed her painful experiences with rape and sexual assault. Titled "A Story Like Mine," her five-minute poem earned her a loud applause from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Portman also commanded the stage in L.A. with a powerful speech.

Portman is one of the actors behind the Time's Up initiative, and in her speech she revealed that she was already a victim of sexual harassment at the age of 13. According to Portman, it was the time when her first film,"Léon: The Professional" came out, and the first fan mail she received was a rape fantasy involving her and the sender, who is a man.

"I understood very quickly, even as a 13-year-old, that if I were to express myself sexually I would feel unsafe and that men would feel entitled to discuss and objectify my body to my great discomfort," she said.

"I felt the need to cover my body and to inhibit my expression and my work in order to send my own message to the world that I'm someone worthy of safety and respect," Portman added. "The response to my expression, from small comments about my body to more threatening deliberate statements, served to control my behavior through an environment of sexual terrorism."

Donald Trump himself recognized the March and was apparently oblivious that the whole affair was a protest against his principles and policies. Apparently, the former Celebrity Apprentice host thought the Women's March is a celebration of the country's economic success.
