The 2017 Women’s March became famous for its hats and crowd size. Now, that Trump is returning to the White House, the march will be back but organizers tell Kelly Rissman that they expect a much smaller turnout

Summary

Organizers of the 2017 Women’s March are planning the “People’s March” on January 18, 2025, ahead of Donald Trump’s second inauguration.

Unlike the record-breaking 2017 protest with 500,000 people, this multi-issue demonstration, addressing abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, and more, expects a smaller turnout of 50,000.

Organizers acknowledge shifting political dynamics and aim to build a sustainable movement by connecting participants with advocacy organizations.

    Just because someone is poor and trapped in a country where there isn’t a democracy doesn’t mean they’re a scumbag

        Of course I have. I’m not saying Trump supporters are good people.

        I’m saying that the reason Trump got elected is because we dont live in a democracy. You want to fix the issue? Blame the plutocrats and the election system. Dont blame the few voters who voted for Trump. There’s not that many of them, and you’re wasting your time on them.

        Fix the democracy and you’ll fix the issue.

        Yes. I’m referring to the people who didn’t vote or didn’t vote for him.

        Because one can say voting for Harris makes someone a scumbag
