What Does The Women’s March Mean?
Protests were held around the country on Saturday and there was massive turn outs at all the events, so what does it mean?
Protest marches have been a staple of our country since before the beginning of the nation, what makes the Women’s March special?
Well first off, the size of them. In Hartford it was a record breaking crowd of around twelve thousand people, it broke last years record. It crushed the number of people who showed up for and against marriage equality; those rallies only had a couple of thousand people attend them. The Women’s March was an order of magnitude about anything for or against gun control or abortion.
Second, they rally had women, sisters, and daughters marching but it also had fathers, brothers, and sons. It also was multi-cultural with people from different religions, races, and socioeconomic status attending. It wasn’t monocultural.
Third and most important is that from these rallies more women are running for office.
