Women's March- Hannah Niara
This past Saturday was a big day for women all over the country. On January 21, 2017 the Women's March on Washington filled the streets with more than 1 million people. The reason behind the march was to show that women should be respected and their rights should stay the same even with Donald Trump as our new President. There are four women who are behind this entire event. Tamika Mallory, Bob Bland, Linda Sarsour, and Carmen Perez. These women explained how hard it was to be living in the United States as women of different races. Therefore they decided to create this march so that every women in the U.S could have a voice. I really wish that I could've attended one of the marches. I feel like this is an incredible way to allow women to be themselves and speak what's on their minds.

That's truely amazing that 4 women got these marches organized and that so many people attended. Hopefully men now know that women are just as strong and powerful and that they are capable of the same things men are capable of.
