2017 Women's March Recap

Disclaimer: this is a homework assignment 

The Women’s March Against Donald Trump is the Largest Day of Protests in US History


America had a simple message for President Trump on Saturday (Jan 21): “love trumps hate.”



Less than 24 hours after the controversial inauguration of the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, America confirmed that there is indeed more good than evil in this world. In solidarity, demonstrators marched for gender, racial, religious, political and etc. equality chanting “love trumps hate.”


With an estimated 3.3 million to 4.6 million marchers, the Women's March easily takes the cake for the largest day of protest in US history in addition to being the most peaceful demonstration - no arrests were reported at the largest protests across the nation in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., New York, Chicago or Seattle.


The star-studded march in Washington hosted Alicia Keys, Madonna, Janelle Monae, America Ferrera, Scarlett Johansson, Janet Mock and Angela Davis just on stage alone. The powerful message of the march echoed across the world as people in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and more expressed their support on social media, as well as by marching in their home countries.
