In reaction to Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, millions of participants in all seven continents joined together Saturday, January 21, 2017 in the Women’s March. Possibly the largest coordinated global protest in history, the Women's March was organized by a few women of color by the names of Tamika D. Mallory, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour (a black woman, a Latina woman, and a Palestinian woman), and this is only the beginning.

The Women's Sister Marches held on January 21 across the globe mark the beginning of a movement that will forever impact our history. According Women's March Global, these marches held are not meant to be held in order to protest the election of Donald Trump but are essentially meant to support the progressive values of our society including the upkeep of women rights.
"Women's March Global invites individuals and organizations committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion and those who understand women’s rights as human rights to join our local coalitions of marchers in representing the rights and voices of progressive people around the world."
