Massive nationwide Women's March turnout shames tRump on inauguration anniversary

Women's March events coast to coast completely ruined the first anniversary of Donald Trump's inauguration, and showed Republicans they're on track for a terrible year.


Donald tRump woke up on the one-year anniversary of his inauguration not only to a shutdown engineered by his congressional allies, but to massive Women’s Marches coast to coast loudly proclaiming resistance to his presidency and all it represents.

Instead of dying out, the Woman’s March movement is as strong as it was a year ago, if not stronger. And it has some serious wins that it has racked up over a year of resistance to tRump.

The L.A. Times noted that in New York City, “crowds were backed up for dozens of blocks leading to the rally site on the edge of Central Park,” while “more than 4,500 people marched through downtown Dallas.”

In Chicago, organizers estimated 300,000 showed up, 50,000 more than in 2017. - ShareBlue
