18 Celebrities Who Attended the 2018 Women's March This Weekend
Last year on January 21, the first Women's March on Washington occurred. It was the day after the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America, and the march was to protest his place in that office as well as to call attention to many of the issues women face today, not only in this country but globally. To put it simply, the main mission of the march is to make women's rights human rights, and folks from all over marched to make their voices heard.
The second annual Women's March was on Saturday, January 20, 2018, and people took to the streets once more with the intention of raising awareness to the same issues.
