Tens of thousands of women all across the country – from Los Angeles to Chicago to New York – marched on Saturday, marking a year since the first Women’s March and Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The demonstrations were held all across the country, in red states and blue. They’re proof that the energy fueling opposition to this president hasn’t diminished over the past year – it’s only gotten stronger as the country heads toward the pivotal 2018 midterm elections.

As we noted via Reuters a short time ago, “This year’s demonstration is being held in coordination with rallies planned for the weekend in some 250 other cities across the United States and overseas.”

The main goal is to “register a million new voters and get more strong advocates for women’s rights into office.”

All across the country and the world, women (and men) are marching to show the president that they are more motivated than ever to stand up to his dangerous agenda, which has already hurt millions of men and women.

This level of mobilization and activism combined with Trump’s dismal approval ratings and the Republican Party’s inability to keep the government’s lights on is likely to deliver a major wake-up call to the GOP come November.
