41 Quotes From The Women's March That We Can't Forget
voanews.com

This past weekend, women broke history. Women stood together to fight for their rights. To say no to something they don’t believe in. To fight for the rights of their children. There was approximately 4.6 million people marching around the world. Almost 700 sister marches to the march on Washington. Together I have compiled an eclectic list of quotes that defined this march. Quotes that hopefully will not only help you understand but inspire you to march for women’s rights. It’s not about what party you’re in. It’s about standing against injustice. It’s about fighting for people's lives.

1. “Grandma has fought hard for her kids, don’t piss her off.”

2. “Nasty women grab back.”

3. “Respect existence or expect resistance.”

4. “We don’t want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants.”

5. “We all belong here. We will defend each other.”

6. “Achieving our full selves by fully embracing each other.”

7. “Hope not fear.”

8. “Each time a woman stands up for herself without knowing it possible, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” –Maya Angelou

9. “There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise.”

10. “We can, we have and we will.”

11. “We shall overcomb.”

12.“ Make America think again.”

13. “No one is free when others are oppressed.”

14. “Not about party affiliation. This is important. Come together.”

15. “I stand for planned parenthood. This organization which provides women across the nation access to annual gynecological exams and cancer screenings that could save lives. March on!”

16. “My rights are not up for grabs.”

17. “Include women in the sequel, the future is female.”

18. “I am not free while any woman is unfree even when her shackles are very different from my own.”

19. “Toxic masculinity ruins the country.”

20. “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”

31. “Women are the wall and Trump will pay.”

32. “Our bodies, our minds, our power.”

33. “Shed walls don’t build them.”

34. “So bad, introverts are here.”

35. “Girls just wanna have fun(damental human rights).”

36. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

37. “I march because I am enough. I march because I’ve had enough. I march because enough is enough.”

38. “Viva la vulva.”

39. “A woman’s place is in the resistance.”

40. “Trust women to choose.”

41. “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.”

****

And if you refuse to stand by our side, then don’t stand in our way.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
