WATCH: Thousands Mark Trump’s Anniversary with 2018’s Women’s March
“We’re Still Hereâ€
Donald Trump marked the first year of his presidency with a government shutdown, but across the globe, others marked it with the Women’s March of 2018.
Last year, turnout for the Women’s March exceeded the oft-disputed attendance of Trump’s inauguration as men and women joined in solidarity against the new president’s would-be policies and division. This year, the events honor that anniversary and also look ahead to the 2018 midterms—hoping to energize Americans to make a difference at the polls.
Take a look at some photos and video, which quickly hit Twitter, below:
We’re not going anywhere.
In 2018, we’re bringing our #PowerToThePolls.
