The Women’s March on Washington took place recently which was filled with inspiring people of all races, genders, ethnicities, etc. There were many sister marches across the whole world that joined the March on Washington. Marches took place in London, New York, LA, Boston, Portland, Paris, San Francisco etc. The amount of participants broke many records and all of the marches were filled with different people, all there for different reasons, who all support equality.
Everyone came together to fight for women’s rights and equality. Whether they were at the march or supporting it online, the world seemed to be filled with love, hope and determination that day. But of course, there are going to be people who disagree. YES, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you can express that, but if you do not support the Women’s March, you do not support equal rights. END OF STORY. No ifs, ands, or buts.
THIS MARCH WAS NOT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP! If you are one of the people who said things along the lines of, “why are they protesting, he already won,” you are a product of the society that shows everything has to involve a man. THEY ARE MARCHING FOR WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND EQUALITY. Sorry Don, not everything is about you.
The Women’s March aimed to increase awareness of immigration reform, health care reform, protection of the natural environment, LGBTQ rights, racial justice, freedom of religion and workers' rights. Everyone marched to show how our country is going to stand together and fight together.
If you supported this march, you’re a feminist, welcome to the club! If you did not, you do not believe in equality. You believe payment inequality does not exist, you believe women do not have a say in what happens to their bodies, you want our environment to be ruined, you do not think women rights are human rights, you do not believe in freedom of religion, you do not believe in LGBTQ rights, you do not want everyone to have social and political equality, YOU DO NOT WANT US TO BE EQUAL.
The Women’s March was the biggest protest in history. There was almost 500,000 people marching in Washington D.C., and there were so many sister protests happening around the world. All of these participants used their voice and they marched for the ones that were too afraid and had to stay silent. Everyone had great, quirky signs that went viral online.
Unfortunately, I was unable to go to the march, but I still showed my support. I didn’t want to protest because Hillary lost or because I don’t like Donald Trump. I wanted to protest because women rights are human rights, men and women should be equal, I support LGBTQ rights, I respect everyone’s religion, if it’s my body it’s my choice, no one should be discriminated against. I wanted to protest because love is love is love is love is love is love.
Everyone should be equal. Everyone should be able to make their own decisions. Everyone needs to learn to love.
