\"Women\u2019s<\/h2>\n

The Who, What, When and Where About the March<\/h2>\n

If you’ve hiding under a rock and haven\u2019t heard, Donald Trump is being sworn into office this Friday, Jan. 20. And you may know that some (or more so, a lot) of women are unhappy about it. So they decided to organize a Women\u2019s March on Washington. Here’s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

The Women\u2019s March on Washington started with a Facebook post by Teresa Shook, a retired attorney and grandmother living in Hawaii, who asked a few of her friends to join her in a demonstration in D.C.<\/p>\n

She wrote, \u201cWhat if women marched around Inauguration Day en masse?\u201d Now, more than 200,000 people have planned to attend.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who<\/strong>: Women (and men) of all ages, races, genders<\/p>\n

What:<\/strong> A demonstration march for women\u2019s rights<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: January 21, the day after the Inauguration \/ 10 AM\u20141:30 PM rally, then march until 5 p.m. EST<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: D.C. The march will start at the intersection of Independence Ave. and Third St. S.W., near the U.S. Capitol. The march will go down Constitution Avenue and end up at The Elipse, right across from the White House.<\/p>\n

How:<\/strong> You can book a flight, bus or walk down the street if you\u2019re close. Don’t drive, it will be a mess.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t make it, you can donate here<\/a>\u00a0or buy a t-shirt from organizers.<\/p>\n

Register to attend here<\/a>\u00a0(Not required, but it helps organizers get a head count)<\/p>\n

\"Women\u2019s<\/h2>\n

The demonstration (not protest, as organizers are quick to point out) was organized to challenge Trump\u2019s administration.<\/h2>\n

Their message is: \u201cWe are watching you, President-(Elect) Trump, United States House of Representatives, and Senate. We are an organized group that intends to hold the U.S. government accountable for your leadership and decisions that will impact all Americans. We hope that women and men will join together to rally in Washington, D.C.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The demonstration will be the biggest organized event surrounding Trump since he was elected, and could possibly be the biggest movement gathered during a presidential Inauguration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Co-Chairs include Dolores Huerta (labor leader and activist) Gloria Steinem and Harry Belafonte.<\/p>\n

The list of sponsors is impressive, from Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, the national Resources Defense Council, Naral, MoveOn, Emily\u2019s List, and more.<\/p>\n

Good stuff to bring<\/h2>\n
