Through careful networking backers for the march were found in the form of non-corporate, activist organizations who felt a vested stake in opposing the incoming Trump administration. According to march organizer Linda Sarsour groups such as \u201cPlanned Parenthood, for example, was the premier sponsor of the Women's March. And other groups\u2014like the National Resource Defense Council, NARAL, Pro-Choice America, MoveOn.org, the Human Rights Campaign, and even labor unions like 1199, SEIU, and the American Federation of Teachers\u2014came out in support.\u201d (Clark 2017). With the issue of funding, becoming less of a headache for the organizers the next obstacle was to make sure enough people would show out for the event, and that they were showing up for a concise cause. Through much deliberation amongst the variety of organizers it was decided that all types of issues impact women harder than men in society so the overarching theme of the march would be the solidarity women share with one another. This period of time was hectic as it comes according to DC March organizer Elissa Ha who put the reality of the situation bluntly stating: \u201cWe are all volunteers here. We had to organize buses for people, fundraise for communities that didn\u2019t have the money to go and do local events to give people information about the national march. We had nine weeks to plan all of this. It was crazy.\u201d\u00a0 (Ariellekandel 2017). The attention of the organizers would then shift towards the local events Ha referenced as well as having a visible social media effort to get folks to RSVP for the event. With all the organizational hurdles met the only thing left for the organizers to do was to make it become a reality.\r\n<h2>Location<\/h2>\r\nWashington DC was chosen as the location of the march for a few key reasons. The first and most obvious was that they were scheduling the march for the day after Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration, so having it in DC would provide a visible contrast between the amount of support there was for the agenda of the March and Trump being sworn in. Another key reason for DC being chosen is the fact is the nation's capital and has a storied history as a backdrop for large protest movements with it, being the backdrop of Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s famous march on Washington. The main stretch in front of the US Capitol was delegated for the protest, setting the stage for the culmination of the organizers\u2019 efforts.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=15X2V4mNyNdaKm3RLKxMnUYto7NiVqOY&amp;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\r\n<h4>The map above provides a look at where the 2017 Women's March was held .<\/h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>The Day Of<\/h2>\r\nAs the sun rose on Washington DC on January 21, 2017 nobody who had work to organize the march could\u2019ve predicted the massive success that would occur in regards to their turn out with Brittanica summarizing after its conclusion \u201cas many as 4.6 million people attended the various events in the United States, and it was widely believed to be the largest single-day demonstration in that country\u2019s history \u201c (Britannica 2024)\u00a0 . With the realization that the march would be much larger scale than anticipated, the event organizers kicked off the march in front of the capitol. The streets of DC were flooded in a wave of pink cat hats and pro-women signage as there was no mistaking this event was going to make their messages known; as Sarsour later put it \u201cI helped organize the Women's March on Washington to send a very strong message to the administration on their first day: We will not be silent.\u201d ( Clark 2017). When marchers finally arrived to their destination, they were greeted by a group of influential speakers such as Gloria Steinem, Angela Davis, and Harry Belafonte. The marches would eagerly listen to the testimony of those who paved the way for their movement and shared their enthusiasm via chants and cheering. As the event came to a close there was no mistaking that a message had been sent to the new administration: women would not go silent into the night of Donald Trump.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/rLcfJdDSR2U?si=oD3YYqTJVLVpwi1f\r\n<h4>Democracy Now's Amy Goodman interviews March organizer Linda Sarsour at the event providing a good vantage point of what the energy at the actual march was like.<\/h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>The March in Numbers<\/h2>\r\nIn the aftermath of the women\u2019s march on DC, there were a few key numbers that helped paint the picture of the event. The first number that is important to understanding the full picture of the women\u2019s march is the projected 4.6 million people who took place in the demonstration(s) that day. These numbers dwarf the turnout from the inauguration the day before and show that the organizers successfully proved their point in drawing a contrast between the support surrounding trump's incoming agenda and the agenda that they were pushing forward with their march. Another key number that helps in understanding the event is the breakdown of the demographics that showed out in support of the movement. Professor Jennifer Martin shines a light on this with her journal <em>\u2018Why we March! Feminist activism in critical times: lessons from the women\u2019s march on Washington' <\/em>which broke down the turnout. In this journal, Martin found that while the march made a concerted effort to have a multitude of groups advocated for, this didn\u2019t translate into the demographics that ultimately showed up at the event as \"The majority of participants in this study were White, heterosexual females. The widest diversity observed among participants was in their political party affiliation, although here too the majority identified as Democrat.\u201d (Smith 2020) . While this factor may suggest that there was a lack of diversity in the event, a clearer picture is gained when looking at the final key factor - the messages seen at the event. The journal<em> \u2018The 2017 Women\u2019s March on Washington: An Analysis of Protest-Sign Messages\u2019<\/em> published by the International Journal of Communication put forth an analysis of the signs seen at the march and broke down the numbers behind the causes that were most visible. the findings of this analysis showed that the overwhelming amount of the signage from the event fell into the camp of women\u2019s solidarity with the journal stating signage utilized \u201c diverse and broadly defined \u201cunity principles,\u201d and in five additional action frames that emerged spontaneously at the march: (1) unity, (2) women as powerful agents of resistance, (3) reappropriating pussy and words for the vagina, (4) criticisms of Trump, and (5) defining and critiquing feminism\u201d (Weber 2022) . This shows that ultimately the women\u2019s march achieved at their goals of creating contrast with the inauguration crowd and having a march that was vocal in their solidarity for the progression of women\u2019s rights - despite not having the most diverse coalition show out.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[h5p id=\"39\"]\r\n<h4>Infographic Photo Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoworldreactor.blogspot.com\/2017\/01\/2017-womens-march.html\">EcoworldReactor: \"2017 WOMENS MARCH\" Redefing the Protest in new Age<\/a><\/h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Aftermath<\/h2>\r\nIn the aftermath of the 2017 women\u2019s march on DC there was an understanding that going forward with the Trump administration, there would be a vocal opposition present. The infrastructure that helped make the Women\u2019s March as successful as it was, would go on to mobilize against the Trump administration in regards issues including police brutality and anti-Muslim legislation. Following a tumultuous four years in office Trump would go on to lose reelection in 2024 to Joe Biden. As a byproduct Kamala Harris was named to be the first female vice president ever, serving in his administration. As time progressed women\u2019s words for push to the forefront once again, when the Supreme Court overturn its Roe v. Wade ruling making it so women once again, had to take to the streets to advocate for their independence. These events in the aftermath of the women\u2019s march go to show that when women mobilize and organize, they are capable of changing the temperature of the nation. It is wild to think the whole thing started on the pages of Facebook as the event changed the national dialogue so poignantly that a mere four years after the march occurred there were thousands at the capitol once again- only this time to see a woman sworn in as Vice President.\r\n<h2>Timeline: Before and After the Women's March<\/h2>\r\nhttps:\/\/cdn.knightlab.com\/libs\/timeline3\/latest\/embed\/index.html?source=1dKrLlY07ek-HvY7APOBrx6YSQMLJeq1k1d8LNVmcLeU&amp;font=Default&amp;lang=en&amp;initial_zoom=2&amp;height=650\r\n<h1>Bibliography \/ Works Cited:<\/h1>\r\n<h4>In Paper:<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Weber, KM, T Dejmanee, and F Rhode. \u201cThe 2017 Women\u2019s March on Washington: An Analysis of Protest-Sign Messages.\u201d OPUS at UTS | Open Publications of UTS Scholars, November 28, 2022. https:\/\/opus.lib.uts.edu.au\/handle\/10453\/163797.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Smith, Julia, and Jennifer Martin. \u201cWhy We March!
