Eight years after the massive Women's March that protested Donald Trump's first inauguration, organizers say the movement has evolved to become more inclusive. As Trump potentially seeks a second term, the planned protest for January 18th will be called the 'People's March,' aiming to unite a broader coalition of individuals concerned about a second Trump administration.
One day after Donald Trump 's presidential inauguration, hundreds of thousands of anti- Trump protestors fill the streets during the Women's March on January 21, 2017 held in the area surrounding the Washington Mall.At that time, Willis was a burgeoning leader in social justice and activism, and she says the conversation around trans experiences was limited.
To wit, the protest planned for the weekend of Trump’s second inauguration isn’t being called another “Women’s March,” but rather the “People’s March.” The march, scheduled for January 18th, is an attempt to bring all people who are fearful of a second Trump Administration, including some “We want to push against this notion of hopelessness, this sort of fear that we see people leaning into demobilization and demoralization,” she says. “We’re also trying to make visible a resistance… Looking at the election results, there is this narrative around a broad mandate within the electorate in favor of Trump’s policies. We want to demonstrate that there are people who will continue to stand up and fight against that.
In a further sign that the People’s March is creating some distance with the iconography of the 2017 Women’s March, in the the Frequently Asked Questions section of its website, the site says marchers should not bring weapons, drugs, orto characterize the controlling of women’s reproduction has proliferated, primarily by white women across the country, since the show has gained popularity,” the site reads.
