Women’s March on Washington speakers announced

Hundreds of buses are expected to transport protesters from throughout the country to join in the main march on Washington, D.C., which will end at the U.S. Capitol. The anti-choice organization in question is not a partner of the Women’s March on Washington.

Protesters from around the United States are preparing for Saturday’s march after Trump’s inauguration ceremony.

Plum said she had originally planned to travel to the march with her mother and sister, but when those plans fell through, she convinced her parents to let her go without them.

She said it’s “breathtaking” how many people are excited about the events, both in B.C. and around the world. “There’s a lot more going on than one single issue”. “I am going because I have to go”.

Each March is taking the inspiration from and foundation of the original Women’s March on Washington and expanding it to make their own statements, make their own needs heard. “And due to the rhetoric of the last election, we don’t want this tone and language to become the norm”. “So we are calling it out”, Askew said.

“But, we’ve always felt really strongly about politics and I think this is giving us a chance to voice our opinions in a different way”.

Joining the sister marches is super easy.

Organiser Emma McNally, a London-based artist, told HuffPost UK: “Trump was really a tipping point for this. Posting is easy, it just takes a couple minutes”.

“It’s not like we’re trying to take abortion away”, she said. The trip to the District is a birthday gift from her dad.

“You can do something”, she said.

With the inauguration just days away, President-Elect Donald Trump will have some company in Washington. “This is something big, and I want to be there”.

Organizers say the march is meant to “promote women’s equality and defend other marginalized groups”, which Wilson feels passionate about. “Intersectional feminism is the future of feminism and of this movement”, said Bob Bland, one of the event’s co-chairs.

Monckton said the main goal of the march is to promote discussion about women’s rights, but sending a clear message to global leaders is also a priority. “And luckily I was the last person to get a seat in the vehicle”, said Whipple.

According to Atlantic magazine, the feminist group believes in the right to life of every unborn child, which does not adhere the pro-abortion requirements.

Similar to Rutherford, Trump’s election made Taylor think hard about things, but she said that now she knows that advocacy is where her passion lies.
