Today, women around the world are putting their differences aside – whether it be class, religion or race – to stand together united and fight the good fight. Here’s what some of the voices, including Katy Perry, Cher, and Janelle Monae, are saying.
Yesterday the world saw what many didn’t think was possible; yesterday, Donald J. Trump celebrated his first day as the 45th President of the United States. As Barack Obama waved goodbye to the Oval Office, for millions across the globe, it felt as if the nation was waving goodbye to hope.
But the sadness that washed over the nation the day Trump was voted into office hasn’t silenced those that oppose it, in fact, some might say their voices are heard louder than ever.
Today, Trump’s second day in office, women from around the globe are descending on the capital of the United States for the Women’s March on Washington. The protest will fight for what women and all human beings deserve: equality in the workplace, access to affordable reproductive healthcare, a living minimum wage, immigration reform, full access to health care for transgender Americans, and the list goes on – these are just some of the reasons falling under #WHYIMARCH.
And it’s not just women in Washington. Women and loved ones are marching in cities across the globe, putting aside their differences – whether it be class, race, religion, or other beliefs – to come together, stand united, and fight for what is rightfully theirs.
Amongst those lending their voices to the cause are a number of notable celebrities. Here are what some of them have shared on social media so far:
But in all seriousness, to the men who are marching alongside us: We thank you. We need you. We love you. #allofus
