“A Million Women” event billed the gathering as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from forces of darkness.

“Listen to the cries of your people,” Lou Engle shouted Saturday as thousands of followers lifted their hands to the sky.

Engle is a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation , a movement of charismatic Christians who for years portrayed U.S. politics as a spiritual clash between good and evil.

Organizers chose to hold the event on Yom Kippur , the holiest day in Judaism , because it is a day to atone for sin.

LaTrece Curry , a Black mother who said she voted for Obama in 2008 , drove from Ohio with her husband and four children.

She said her support for Trump has led to divisions and arguments with her Black friends and family members.
