The Women’s March
- An estimated 3 million people participated in the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., and more than 670 Sister Marches across the globe. The organizers said the aim was to rally for human rights. Speaking at one such rally in Boston, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) connected the demonstrations to opposition to the Trump administration's policy agenda: “Yesterday, Donald Trump was sworn in as president. That sight is now burned into my eyes forever. And I hope the same is true for you — because we will not forget. We do not want to forget. We will use that vision to make sure that we fight harder, we fight tougher, and we fight more passionately than ever.” Following the marches, training and networking sessions were held with the aim to mobilize demonstrators to sustain the movement.
