On Jan. 20, Americans finally have to face the fact that toupeéd cartoon villain come-to-life Donald J. Trump will occupy the highest office in American politics (ugh). On Jan. 21, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators are going to deal with this fact by protesting at the Women's March on Washington (yay!). If you're planning on attending what promises to be a historic event, you'll probably want to take a look at a few Women's March maps, so you'll have an idea of where you're headed during the protest itself. It's time to start preparing for the big day, and once you've done all the fun (well, maybe not so fun) stuff like packing your bags and arranging transportation, you'll want to make sure you're armed with as much information as possible, too.
The Women's March began as a suggestion in a Facebook post by a retired woman in Hawaii, but it exploded in popularity seemingly overnight. Today, nearly 200 groups representing a variety of issues have signed on as partners, and 616 sister marches are taking place in cities around the world in solidarity with the main event in Washington, D.C. According to the Women's March website, more than a million women are estimated to march this Saturday under a banner of an intersectional set of principles.
If you're able to make it to the Women's March on Washington this weekend, you'll want to prepare beforehand. For one thing, you can't count on receiving cell signal, so once you've taken a look at the following useful maps, you'll want to print them out or save them to your phone; the Daily Dot has a guide to saving maps for offline use.
