On January 21, 2017, people from all over the world marched in the Women's March on Washington and on January 28, many gathered around the country to march against the executive order our president just signed that bans Muslim men and women from entering the United States.

The Women's March, which focussed on reproductive rights, sexual assault, LGBTQ+, Black Lives Matter, and immigration reform, was harshly scrutinized by none-other than conservative, white men and women around the U.S.

Their soul comment on the march was that it was "just a bunch of feminazi lesbians who want to murder unborn babies" and "Women in America have the same rights as men, stop playing the victim card! What about the women in other countries who aren't as lucky?"

This sort of appalling, naive attitude grew rapidly over social media for the next week or so after the march.

Here is what the Women's March website says about "why we march":

"The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized, and threatened many of us - immigrants of all statuses, Muslims and those of diverse religious faiths, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, Black and Brown people, people with disabilities, survivors of sexual assault - and our communities are hurting and scared. We are confronted with the question of how to move forward in the face of national and international concern and fear.

Those who had so much to say about this event did not even do the slightest bit of research before criticizing it.

And then came more executive orders...

It is no secret that Donald Trump set an agenda during the presidential election against the religion of Islam and Mexican immigration. He said that he would ban Muslims from entering the U.S. and that "we are going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it." It was easy to believe that back then, this was just pandering to the uneducated alt-right... sadly, we were mistaken.

But this executive order did not silence the nation.

Thousands gathered across the nation in or around airports, protesting this ban. Many took to Twitter and used the hashtag, #NoBanNoWall to show that we are not going to stand for the unjust treatment immigrants are facing.

When the Women's March happened, many brought up abortion and saving unborn fetus's lives, yet we never see those people talk about the rights of the Syrian refugees and their children.

People who, thanks to our president, are banned from the United States and left to die.

We march...

because our president has created a stigma behind both a religion and a skin color.

because we demand the rights to our own bodies.

because we understand that we are not treated equally.

because Black Lives Matter.

because there are many people around the world who cannot.
