Great turnout despite the rain.
This was at the busy intersection of Fifth & Shady. Lots of traffic and great support from passing motorists.

Hell, you could even make it a poster-making party too, because you know there's going to be many more protests in the near future!
Seriously, that's a great photo, Pittsburgh strong! (How did they get that shot? Drone?)

It's a stunner though.
*Note: I believe that photo must have been taken by surveillance camera! They are mounted all over the city and considering the concave, rounded look of that photo, that must be how that photo originated, high up in the portico.
