The Reason for the Women’s March on Washington,” explained

Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton came as a shock to many — and for many women who opposed Trump in particular, Clinton’s loss was personally devastating. But after the election, desperation and fear swelled into a plan for action: a “Women’s March on Washington” on January 21, the day after Trump’s inauguration and the first full day of his administration.
What started as a viral idea on social media has snowballed into what could be the biggest mass mobilization yet that America has seen in response to a presidential inauguration. About 60,000 people protested Richard Nixon’s 1973 inauguration at the height of the Vietnam War, and thousands protested George W. Bush’s 2001 inauguration.
The Women’s March might even draw more attendees than the Inauguration itself. More than 400 buses were granted parking permits on Inauguration Day — but about 2,000 buses applied for permits on Saturday, the day of the Women’s March.
The march has some big-name sponsors and partners like Planned Parenthood Federation of America and NARAL Pro-Choice America. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem and actor and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte have signed on as honorary co-chairs. The march has an official permit for an estimated 200,000 marchers to first rally in front of the Capitol at Independence Avenue and Third Street SW, and then march to a park near the White House.
For those who can’t make it to Washington on January 21, more than 600 solidarity marches are being held in 60 countries. Some rallies in large cities like Boston (where Sen. Elizabeth Warren will speak) are expected to draw thousands of attendees.
Although the Women’s March on Washington has been an organic, grassroots effort, it has also been a chaotic one at times. For a while, it seemed doubtful that the march would actually come together in a successful or safe way.
But the huge, spontaneous groundswell behind the march says a lot about this moment in American politics. It’s another sign that Trump could spark a new golden age of activism on the left. And it’s a sobering reminder of why that might be the case: People are genuinely afraid for their civil rights under Trump, and women in particular could have a lot to lose.
Why a women’s march?
Many women were dismayed or even horrified that America chose Trump — an alleged sexual predator whose policies could be a huge setback for women’s health and rights — over Clinton, a highly qualified public servant who could have been America’s first woman president.
This gender dynamic has become such a powerful motivator that the Women’s March will probably become the largest Inauguration Weekend gathering of people who oppose Trump.
