Worried that the Trump administration would work against gender equality, thousands of women signed up for the march. Organizers began planning for a massive event, using the hashtag #WomensMarch to spread the word. On January 21, 2017—President Trump’s first full day in office—millions of people marched in Washington, DC, all 50 states, and around the world. After the march, Twitter users posted with the hashtag #WhyIMarch to share their reasons for joining the protest. The marches led to the creation of several grassroots organizations dedicated to women’s issues, gender equality, and the election of women candidates.
