Why The Women's March Is SO Important.

It's been a year since millions of people came out to take the streets in protest of President Trump's inauguration. And who could blame them? President Trump's first year of presidency has been an absolute mess, dividing the nation like never before. Trump's administration has been riddled by half-plotted policies and outright fallacies. Among the administration as a whole; this presidency will forever be marked by the #MeToo movement.

If you need a refresher (which we doubt you do) the #MeToo movement was a way for women to claim their place in a horrific truth that we hope our future generations won't have to experience. Hollywood has long been dominated by men, and with the discovery that these men were using their power to abuse women, it was only a matter of time before activists were pushed into a call for change. The change is slowly happening; many women are building upon the movement with political progress, and electoral victories have been a beacon of light on our progress.

The Women's March is important because it first and foremost brings us together. This movement is not just for women, it is for all those who identify with similar experiences, all those who believe it's unfair to abuse power, and all of us who hope for a better world; a world where our President doesn't talk about GRABBING WOMEN BY THE PUSSY.

Women live in a world that is systematically built to keep them down. When women and all people who believe in a better world for everyone come together, it places a dent in the system that tries so hard to keep us down. More than 200,000 protesters attended the march in New York, 600,000 attended in Los Angeles, and 300,000 more protested in Chicago. Aside from that, thousands more marched in hundreds of other cities around the country and world. The march called to bring "Power to the Polls" by voting in midterm elections to bring victory for Democrats.

More than ever, we have the platform to bring change where it belongs. There is so much happening in our world that needs our attention, undivided and unbiased. We have to look out for one another!
