Women Are Marching Again, But It's Not About Donald Trump
In its second year, the Women’s March that dominated the nation's capital last January has decentralized, focusing on local issues in cities large and small.
The sea of pink pussy hats that swarmed Washington, D.C., for the first inaugural Women’s March last January will look a little different this year.
The locus of resistance is moving out of the president’s backyard and into Las Vegas, Nevada, where women and allies will stage an event elevating women and progressive candidates, called “Power to the Polls.” Unlike last year, when many women took cross-country buses to unite in one central location, this year the Women’s March organizers are placing an emphasis on organizing locally. And instead of a one-day event, the Las Vegas rally will be the first of several events held in swing states across the country, in a race to register 1 million voters.
