On Saturday, the day after Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States, hundreds of thousands of people will again be marching on Washington–as part of the Women’s March.
This march, with more than 600 sister marches in every state across the nation and many other countries, is a way for many of the people who have felt disenfranchised and dismissed by the results of this election to stand together to protect rights, safety, health, and families, and to recognize the strength our country gains from diversity.
A million or more people marching across America won’t necessarily change the policies or views of the new Trump administration overnight. But it makes clear that this was not a normal election: the new president lost the popular vote and won the electoral vote with only a small margin in many states. Furthermore, his comments have insulted and marginalized many groups, including women, minorities, non-Christians, immigrants, the LGBT community, and the disabled.
We are a country that welcomes the downtrodden and the refugee, that has fought to establish civil rights for all–regardless of race, creed, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation, that has led innovation to keep our water and air clean, and that continues to support those around the world who fight for democracy and freedom.
No single individual can be allowed to turn back the progress we’ve made. So from 1963 to 2017 and beyond, we march forward.
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
