The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world, that women’s rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us….”
Mission statement of the Women’s March on Washington

This Saturday, January 21, hundreds of thousands of people will gather at the Women’s March on Washington or at one of the many sister marches happening in cities across the country.
