Women's Marches Around The World Rally Millions - Mila Fisher

On our new president's Inauguration day, more than a million, both men and women, participated in a Women's Marches all around the United States, with Washington alone accumulating to near 500,000 people, according to city officials, which was said to be easily one of the largest demonstrations in the history of the city, and without even one arrest.
The March is a movement supporting and vying for women's rights and civil rights, but many have interpreted it as a protest against what our new president stands for, and what he has voiced against the female population. On this topic, actress America Ferrera told the crown in Washington;

"We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our new president is waging a war, our dignity, our character, our rights have all been under attack, and a platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday. But the president is not America. ... We are America, and we are here to stay."
There has been a lot of contention around this presidency, and many are speaking out. At the march, though many of the signs were peaceful and supportive in their campaigning for women's rights, there were also signs condemning Donald Trump and his actions and protesting against his treatment of women. It is my hope that this election drama was all a buildup to nothing, and we will have rather uneventful four years in terms of politics.
