This weekend, millions of people marched on Washington DC, London and other cities around the world to protest against President Donald Trump.

In a show of peaceful protest, the coordinated marches - more than 600 in total - brought cities across the globe to a standstill, just one day after President Trump was inaugurated into office.

Men and women marched for a number of issues, from racial equality to sexism, in a mass mobilisation of those who felt under threat from the new US administration.

The message of diversity was clearly not lost on future generations - with protesters barely able to talk coming out to show their support for the cause.

One particular toddler lit up the internet by giving President Donald Trump a piece of her mind with this homemade sign.

“She had been watching us make our signs and she had grabbed the markers and she had gone to town on it,” her father told Buzzfeed. “She obviously had something to say and she did it herself.”

The picture was posted to Facebook by an observer during the marches, where it recieved thousands of shares. People were soon taking to Twitter to talk about the young girl and her creation, inspiring the hashtag #WokeBaby ('woke' being the slang term for being aware of what's going on in your community).

"I feel like #WokeBaby just gave us something powerful here but our third eye ain't ready for the truth", wrote one Tweeter.

"When #WokeBaby's sign still makes more sense than Trump's policies", said another.

But #WokeBaby wasn’t the only youngster making history on the streets of her city.
