The Women's March on Washington is a political rally that took place on January 21, 2017, in Washington, D.C., to promote women's rights, immigration reform, and LGBTQIA rights, and to address racial inequities, worker’s issues, and environmental issues. Sister events are taking place in cities around the world.[7] The march, organized as a grassroots movement, is on the day after the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump, whom protesters view as a major threat to their cause.[8] It aims to "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."[9] The march is being streamed live in Washington, D.C. on YouTube.[10] Marches occured all around the world, with 408 marches reported in the US, and 168 in other countries.[11] The march drew hundreds of thousands to D.C. alone[12] and millions in cities around the United States.[13]

Background

Organizers initiated plans for the march on November 9, 2016, the day after Election Day.[14] Founders organized the march in reaction to Trump's campaign rhetoric, which they found divisive, racist, and misogynistic.[15][16]

Teresa Shook of Hawaii created a Facebook event and invited 40 of her friends to march on Washington to protest Trump's election. Similar Facebook pages created by Evvie Harmon, Fontaine Pearson, Bob Bland, Breanne Butler, and others quickly led to thousands of women signing up to march.[17][18][19][20] Harmon, Pearson, and Butler decided to unite their efforts and consolidate their pages, beginning the official Women's March on Washington.[17] To ensure that the march was led by women of differing races and backgrounds, Vanessa Wruble, co-founder and Head of Campaign Operations, brought on Tamika D. Mallory, Carmen Perez and Linda Sarsour to serve as National Co-Chairs alongside Bob Bland.[17][21]

Organizers state the march is not intended to target Trump but is "more about being proactive about women's rights," and, more broadly, "a stand on social justice and human rights issues ranging from race, ethnicity, gender, religion, immigration and healthcare".[4][22]

Organizers

Dolores Huerta in 2016

The four co-chairs are Linda Sarsour, the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York; Tamika Mallory, a political organizer and former executive director of the National Action Network; Carmen Perez, an executive director of the political action group The Gathering for Justice; and Bob Bland, a fashion designer who focuses on ethical manufacturing.[4][5] Vanessa Wruble, co-founder and co-president of Okayafrica, serves as Head of Campaign Operations.[21] Gloria Steinem, Harry Belafonte, LaDonna Harris, Angela Davis and Dolores Huerta are serving as honorary co-chairs.[23][6]

Harry Belafonte

Throughout Donald Trump's campaign, he promised to defund Planned Parenthood as long as it performs abortions. Planned Parenthood has partnered with the march by providing staff and offering knowledge related to planning a large-scale event.[24] President Cecile Richards believes the march will “send a strong message to the incoming administration that millions of people across this country are prepared to fight attacks on reproductive healthcare, abortion services and access to Planned Parenthood." The organization "hopes that [in the future] many of the protesters will mobilize in its defense when Trump and congressional Republicans make their attempt to strip the organization of millions in federal funding." The national organizing director stressed the importance of continuing action at a local level and remaining active after the event.[4]

Name origin

Originally billed as the "Million Women March",[25] the organizers eventually chose to call the event the Women's March on Washington after the 1963 March on Washington, a historic civil rights rally on the Mall where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. The rally will also pay tribute to the 1997 Million Woman March in Philadelphia, in which hundreds of thousands of African American women are said to have participated.

Organizers hoped to model the event on August 28, 1963 March on Washington, where Martin Luther King Jr., standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech.[30] The National Park Service denied organizers a permit at the Lincoln Memorial due to a scheduling conflict that day (the presidential inauguration and other groups had requested that location already).[31]

On December 9, the organizers announced that a permit had been secured to start the march on Independence Avenue at the southwest corner of the Capitol building and continue along the National Mall.[32]

Policy platform

On January 12, the march organizers released a policy platform addressing reproductive rights, immigration reform, LGBTQIA rights, gender and racial inequities, worker's issues, and others.[1][2]

Quoting Martin Luther King, "We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back," the organizers see the movement in the context of other past and ongoing movements for equality:

Our liberation is bound in each other’s. The Women’s March on Washington includes leaders of organizations and communities that have been building the foundation for social progress for generations. We welcome vibrant collaboration and honor the legacy of the movements before us - the suffragists and abolitionists, the Civil Rights Movement, the feminist movement, the American Indian Movement, Occupy Wall Street, Marriage Equality, Black Lives Matter, and more – by employing a decentralized, leader-full structure and focusing on an ambitious, fundamental and comprehensive agenda.[2]

The organizers also address environmental issues: "We believe that every person and every community in our nation has the right to clean water, clean air, and access to and enjoyment of public lands. We believe that our environment and our climate must be protected, and that our land and natural resources cannot be exploited for corporate gain or greed—especially at the risk of public safety and health."[2]

Participation

By January 20, 2017, 222,000 people had RSVP'd as going and 251,000 had indicated interest.[17][79][80] On January 16, 2017, Fox News reported that authorities were expecting a "a crowd of almost 500,000 people".[81] The permit for the march issued by the National Park Service initially estimated a turnout of 200,000 participants but on January 21, the head of DC's Homeland Security department revised that estimate to 500,000 people.[82]

The sister march in Chicago, initially prepared for a crowd of 22,000, saw a crowd of 250,000.[83]

An unprecedented 23 groups applied for First Amendment permits during inaugural week, and security planners braced for protests.[84]

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe announced that he would attend the march instead of the inaugural parade. McAuliffe said he would be marching in Washington with his wife Dorothy, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam and Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.[85]

Partnerships

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood

In late December, organizers announced that over 100 organizations would provide assistance during the march and support the event across their social media platforms.[86] By January 18, more than 400 organizations were listed as "partners" on the March's official website.[87][88]

Planned Parenthood and the Natural Resources Defense Council were listed as the two "premier partners".[87] Other organizations listed as partners included the AFL-CIO, Amnesty International USA, the Mothers of the Movement, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, the National Organization for Women (NOW), MoveOn.org, Human Rights Watch, CODEPINK, Black Girls Rock, NAACP, the American Indian Movement, Emily's List, OXFAM, Greenpeace USA, and the League of Women Voters.[87][86][89][90][91]

Several anti-abortion women's groups sought to participate in the march, but the organizers did not approve of their participation.[92] After having been partners, their names were removed[88] and March organizers' set of "unity principles" included "open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people."[93] Pro-life feminists still participated after having institutional support revoked.[94]

Speakers and notable attendees

The official list of speakers was released on January 18. The speakers included Cecile Richards; Ilyasah Shabazz; Janet Mock; LaDonna Harris; Maryum Ali; Rabbi Sharon Brous; Sister Simone Campbell; Sophie Cruz; America Ferrera; Angela Davis; Gloria Steinem; Ashley Judd; Scarlett Johansson; Melissa Harris-Perry; Michael Moore; Randi Weingarten; Van Jones; Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner; Roslyn Brock; Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington, D.C.; California senator Kamala Harris, and Ai-jen Poo.[95]

Celebrities including Amy Schumer, Samantha Bee, Olivia Wilde, and Lupita Nyong'o declared their intention to attend the march.[4][96] On January 10, organizers announced that America Ferrera would serve as chair of the "Artist Table," and Chelsea Handler, Zendaya, Katy Perry, Madonna and Cher will participate.[97]

Demonstration paraphernalia

Signage

Personal, group, and collaborative projects for banner making and sign making for signs to carry or wear were organized spontaneously throughout the nation. Facebook friends took orders for T-shirts and other apparel to silk screen or paint. In Richmond, Virginia, attendees of the March on Washington participated in an "Art of Activism" series of workshops at Studio Two Three, a printmaking studio for artists in Scott's Addition.[98]

Pussyhat Project

The Pussyhat Project is a nationwide effort to knit pink hats to be worn at the march.[99] Their name refers to the resemblance of the hats' corners to cat ears, and is a way of reclaiming the derogatory term "pussy". The hats' production has caused a shortage of pink wool knitting yarn.[100][101]

Commentary

Gloria Steinem addressing crowds at the Women's March on Washington.

Honorary co-chair Gloria Steinem commented,

Our constitution does not begin with 'I, the President.' It begins with, 'We, the People.' I am proud to be one of thousands who have come to Washington to make clear that we will keep working for a democracy in which we are linked as human beings, not ranked by race or gender or class or any other label."[4]

Michael Moore, scheduled to speak at the event, said:

It's important that everybody go there. This will have an effect. We have to throw everything at this. This man is slightly unhinged, if I can say that, and he's a malignant narcissist. He's going to be very upset if there's a lot of people there."[102]

Saying, "it is significant that it seems that [Donald Trump is] going after programs for violence against women," author Naomi Klein has stated that she believes that it is important for people to demonstrate their concern about the new administration's "drive to denigrate women." She also states that it is important that the women who are organizing the march includes a large number of women of color.[103]

While the march aims to create a social movement, Marcia Chatelain of Georgetown University's Center for Social Justice commented that its success will depend on the marchers' ability to maintain momentum in the following weeks. "One of the goals of any type of march or any type of visible sign of solidarity is to get inspired, to inspire people to do more. And the question is, at the march, what kind of organizational structures or movements will also be present to help people know how to channel their energy for the next day and for the long haul?" Historian Michael Kazin also commented on the importance of a long-term strategy: "All successful movements in American history have both inside and outside strategy. If you're just protesting, and it just stops there, you're not going to get anything done."[26]

Critics of the march, writing before the release of its platform on January 12, 2017, claimed it would have little likelihood of success because its political goals were unclear or misplaced.[104][105]
