The 2017 Women's March was a network of global political rallies that took place in cities around the world on January 21, 2017. These "sister marches" were both formally and organically related to the popularized 2017 Women's March, all of which happened in concert. The date of this global protest is particularly significant because it was the first day of President Donald J. Trump's term. In addition, the protest was largely in response the positions of the new presidency and the results of the 2016 presidential election. The march was also about promoting women's rights. Other noted causes included, but were not limited to: immigration reform, climate science, and health care reform, countering religious discrimination, violence against women, LGBTQ abuse, addressing racial inequities (e.g. Black Lives Matter), workers' issues, and environmental issues.[1]
