Since Donald Trump was sworn into office yesterday morning, many people haven’t stopped marching to have their voices heard, especially the women. There are multiple Women’s marches happening around the country today including marches in Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, and New York City and they are determined for their voices to be heard.
There were several notable people at the Washington march including Actress America Ferrera, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, filmmaker Michael Moore, and Actress Ashley Judd.
Each of them said their own pieces as well.
America Ferrera
“It’s been a heartrending time to be both a woman and an immigrant in this country. Our dignity, our character, our rights have all been under attack and a platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday,” she said. “But the president is not America. His cabinet is not America. Congress is not America. We are America! And we are here to stay.”
Gloria Steinem
“Make sure you introduce yourselves to each other and decide what we’re going to do tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow, and we’re never turning back!” she said.
Michael Moore
”You have to run for office. You! Yes you!,” he told the crowd.”I can see your face is ‘No, no Mike, not me, I’m shy.’ This is not the time for shy people! Shy people, you have two hours to get over it.”
Ashley Judd
They “ain’t for grabbing,” Ms. Judd said. “They are for birthing new generations of filthy, vulgar, nasty, proud, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, you name it —, for new generations of nasty women.”
She added: “So if you a nasty woman or you love one who is let me hear you say, hell yeah!”
Hillary Clinton sent out a tweet showing her support for the Women’s March movement as a whole.
Thanks for standing, speaking & marching for our values @womensmarch. Important as ever. I truly believe we're always Stronger Together.
