The organization Women’s March Global has planned many marches on January 21, 2017, to support people during the Donald Trump presidency.

These marches are nonviolent and intended to support women, people of color, the LGBTQIAP+ community, disabled people, people of all faiths, immigrants, and anyone who has felt uncomfortable, threatened, or scared of Donald Trump.

“The march is really cool and makes me feel empowered because there are marches happening all over the world in response to the election so I feel like just because Trump is president that doesn’t mean that people will be silent and not express how they truly feel about the election,” freshman Lia Gordon explained.

There are marches happening in at least 58 countries, all 50 of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia.

“All the marches show unity over the cause and support for people who need it in the coming years. Even though everyone thinks different things we all want to support each other,” senior Elinor Krichmar said.

There are going to be 616 Women’s March on Washington and 2,053,360  marches that were inspired by the Women’s March on Washington. And these numbers are still growing.

“Our nation’s history has always been about if we don’t like something we peacefully protest. If you don’t agree with something you see you speak up,” Ms. Charter, a Spanish teacher who will be going to the New York march,  said.

For many people, the march isn’t just about women but about showing that nothing is permanent and that there are ways to handle situations you don’t like.

It’s more than one march. It’s a movement of people who are disagreeing with the government to  improve and ensure their rights, a common theme in American history.
