The march was organized by a diverse group of women's rights activists, including actress and United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson, writer and activist Gloria Steinem, and civil rights leader Dolores Huerta.
The march was a response to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. Trump's campaign was marked by misogynistic and racist rhetoric, and his election was seen as a threat to women's rights and other marginalized groups.
The march was a powerful display of solidarity and resistance. It showed that women are not going to be silenced or marginalized. It also showed that there is a growing movement of people who are committed to fighting for justice and equality.
The Planning
The planning for the Women's March on Washington began in the weeks after the election. A group of women's rights activists, including Bob Bland, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour, created a Facebook group to organize the march.
The group quickly grew, and within a few weeks, they had over 4 million members. They used the group to share information about the march, recruit volunteers, and raise funds.
The group also worked with local organizers in cities across the country to coordinate marches in their communities.

On the day of the march, millions of women and their allies gathered in cities across the globe. In Washington, D.C., the marchers filled the streets from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol Building.
The march was a peaceful and orderly event. The marchers carried signs with slogans such as "Women's Rights Are Human Rights," "Love Trumps Hate," and "Nasty Women Get Shit Done."
The march was also a celebration of diversity. The marchers came from all walks of life, and they represented all races, religions, and sexual orientations.
