US Women’s March set to go global

On Saturday, about 2,000 mostly black protesters rallied near the Martin Luther King Jr.

The Women’s March, on the day after the inauguration, is expected to attract 200,000 people, said the park service, which issues permits. As the idea of a Trump presidency (and the chance to protest it) reluctantly set in, however, the hotels slowly saw more bookings.

Hours earlier, Trump criticized US Representative John Lewis, a prominent civil rights campaigner.

If you can’t attend but you’d like to witness the happenings, here’s how to stream the Women’s March on Washington. A chastened Trump toned down his criticism, urging Lewis to “focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the US”, and adding, “I can use all the help I can get!”

Trump has vowed to dismantle the law and the Republican-majority US Congress passed critical measures towards repealing the reforms.

Epshteyn noted that while this week, Trump’s inaugural week, is a celebration, the President-elect is eager to get right to work. Trump could not have been more wrong on the facts, another one of his complicated relationships.

Millennials, some so young they need their parents’ permission and others with babies in tow, will join women’s protests this weekend as their generation for the first time faces challenges to rights they have known most of their lives.

“I am extremely hopeful”, Walters said.

“The goal of the march is to honor the champions of human rights, dignity and justice who have come before us”, a local event invitation states.

Demonstrations are scheduled across the United States, but the focal point of anti-Trump ire will be in the nation’s capital, where a small minority – several thousand – have pledged to disrupt the January 20 inauguration ceremony. “But I think he’ll bring a lot to this country in his economic status, and in his way as a businessman, I think he can do a lot for the economy”.

Among those who have confirmed they will be performing include rock band 3 Doors Down, who rose to fame in 2000 with their chart-topping single Kryptonite.

Trump responded to the boycott in a tweet yesterday: “The Democrats are most angry that so many Obama Democrats voted for me”.

“The congressman believes this administration is clearly a change from what we’ve had for the past eight years”, an Amodei spokeswoman said.

A collection of groups calling their coalition DisruptJ20 after the date of the inauguration say people participating in their actions will attempt to shut down or cause delays at the security checkpoints going in to the inauguration ceremony.

Roy Bailey, a Texas financier who is co-chairing the fundraising efforts, said a substantial number gave at the highest tier, shelling out $1 million or more. The official Women’s March on Washington group goes by the handle @womensmarch and can be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

“This is out of respect to the office of the president”, Kihuen said.

As the visitors make final plans for the trip to Washington, many D.C. -area businesses are getting ready for the crowds.
