Women's March in Washington, D.C. 2020
Four years ago today, a movement reawakened on the streets of Washington, D.C. Thousands of women united for the first time, to participate in the largest protest in U.S. history: The Women's March. I've participated in every Women's March since the first, with the exception of this year's being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and it's difficult to believe four years has passed since its origination.
So much has changed since the first Women's March. Back then, we were marching to protest the inauguration of a xenophobic president, mourning the presidential loss of Hillary Clinton. There was so much uncertainty and fear lingering in the air at the time. Flash forward four years, and that president has been voted out, welcoming a new generation that includes America's first Black, female Vice President.
So I guess our marching paid off after all.
As we celebrate the anniversary of the first Women's March, let's take a look at some of some incredible moments from marches past.
