Support The Women's March, Even If You Can't Go

After the unexpected victory of Donald Trump, protesters took to the streets in cities across the United States to register their disapproval with the president-elect. On Jan. 21, the day after Trump's inauguration, protesters will march for what may be the biggest protest of them all. The Women's March on Washington has more than 100,000 registered participants, according to a recent Washington Post article. More than 250,000 people have RSVPed to the event's official Facebook page and to the many regional pages that were created in solidarity.

Marchers seek to demonstrate against Trump's record on women — which includes bragging about non-consensual sexual behavior, facing multiple sexual allegations (all of which he has repeatedly denied), calling women pigs, dogs, and bimbos — and to promote policies like protecting women's reproductive rights and create better family leave programs.

The Facebook event page also declares the goals of the march:

The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.

The group encourages supporters to try to get to Washington for the inauguration, but for would-be activists who cannot make the trek, there are many other ways to get involved.
