On January 21, 2017, the day after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, millions of women throughout the country protested in solidarity against his impending presidency and his blatant sexism. The Women’s March (partially organized by activist and the march’s co-president Tamika Mallory) became the largest single-day protest in U.S. history. The purpose of the annual marches is to advocate for legislation and policies regarding human rights and other issues, including women’s rights, immigration reform, healthcare reform, reproductive rights, the environment, LGBTQ rights, racial equality, freedom of religion, workers’ rights and tolerance. Two years later, the women are back and prepared to take the streets over once again.
