Women's March on Washington - day after inaguration

Welcome

WOMEN'S MARCH ON WASHINGTON Learn More

womensmarch.com

FYI - the Women's March on Washington now has a website. Note that even though it says "women" all allies are welcome.

Also, I don't think it's on their webpage, but many local organizations (such as local Planned Parenthood orgs) are bussing people to DC.

    I hope this will send a powerful message, yet I fear it will just "trigger" Trump supporters, who will proceed to call everyone whiny babies. Not that their opinions matter, of course, but it still feels like the US looks poorly on protests in general.

      The organizers are trying to eschew the word "protest" in favor of "rally," but you're right. Trump supporters will see this as a protest and many of them will disapprove.

      I'm torn on this. Fights over "culture" do seem to trigger them, but at the same time, these kinds of fights also seem to mobilize dems and progressives.

      Fights over things that impact working and middle class whites (like getting rid of ACA or privatizing Medicare/SSI) will likely have more traction in the long run.

      At the same time, I think that these culture movements are important for a few reasons: (1) in the face of hateful rhetoric, silence is complicity; (2) we need to continue to spark dialogue RE the changes we want to see; and (3) to get dems and progressives more engaged in the political process - we can't just come out once every four years.

        Word, or should I say, BRD.
