The Stunning Size and Scope of Women Across the Country Who Turn Out to Say We Wont Go Back
"Welcome to your first day, we will not go away!" marchers in Washington chanted. More than 500,000 strong, women, many wearing pink hats, shaped like pussy ears lampooning Trumps misogynist assaults on women came to what they proclaimed to be the epi-center, Washington D.C. to express their repudiation of Trump, his administration and the Republican Partys corrosive rhetoric and retrogressive policies.
The Washington rally was easily one of the biggest demonstrations in that city's history, and mirrored the outpouring of more than a million women who turned everywhere from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles to Mexico City, Paris, Berlin, London, Prague and Sydney. "We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our new president is waging a war," actress America Ferrera told the Washington crowd. "Our dignity, our character, our rights have all been under attack, and a platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday. But the president is not America. ... We are America, and we are here to stay." Youll hear from we the women, who came from near and far to express their beliefs and how theyre prepared to work towards their realization!
