So last weekend was the fourth annual Women’s March where people were walking the streets of Washington, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles but is it me but is the Women’s Marches a thing in the past? Unlike the first annual demonstration of justice brought hundreds to thousands to the capital the day after Trump’s inauguration and as result to the movement there has been a lot of first in women “herstory” we’ve seen the explosion of #METOO and a record number of women being elected into the Congress office which has reshaped our generation but three years of barring bad news we lot more to fight for and a long way to go. This year people were focused on the issues of climate change, reproductive rights, and immigration. In 2019 according to Glamour, it outs that the Supreme Court has appointed two more anti-choice Supreme Court justices and hundreds of extreme conservative judges even including more than 200 members of Congress have asked the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in selected states. At first, the purpose of the Women March’s is to bring women all over the world together in one place to fight the inequality that we go through a day to day basis and encourage them to keep fighting that good fight. A lot of people and headlines are speculating and saying that is there a compelling reason to put on layer upon layer and take a long walk in the middle of a Saturday in dead winter which is a shame. I hope that the pledge of liberation and that rage feeling that we first had in 2016 maybe will stay with us in the 2021 Women’s March due to the 2020 election but we don’t know what the future holds.
