Why there's no big 'Women's March' this Trump inauguration
WASHINGTON - Caroline Waterman, a 59-year-old artist in Charlotte, North Carolina, joined her local 'Women's March' the day after Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017 and found a political home, becoming a poll greeter and taking on responsibility for canvassing on behalf of local Democrats.
Millions of American women, angry about Donald Trump’s ascendance to the presidency, staged the largest single-day protest in U.S. history on Jan. 21, 2017, flooding Washington with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators and filling streets in state capitals around the country. The crushing defeat of Kamala Harris, the second Democratic woman to challenge Donald Trump to the presidency and lose, has left liberal women exhausted and laid bare racial divides in the women's rights movements that will take some time to heal, more than a dozen activists and organizers told Reuters.
“I would love to say that a women’s march, an effectively run march, could completely unify all women in the country. The truth is that it’s just not that simple,” said Rachel Carmona, Executive Director of Women’s March, who was not involved in organizing the 2017 protest. “There’s no silver bullet solution that’s going to come and happen and take the place of down and dirty, back to basics, on the ground organizing and mobilizing.
"The reality is, unfortunately, in the world we live in, sexual assault and sexual harassment and demeaning of women, and misogyny and sexism are ever prevalent," said Kaufman. "And the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, they both have plenty of sexist, misogynist rapists amongst their leaders. So I voted on policy and not on character."Mainstream feminism in the U.S.
Women need to speak to their neighbors and friends about the effects a Trump administration could have on women's rights, said A'shanti Gholar, president of Emerge, an organization that recruits women to run for office. "I want that woman who has 80 Instagram followers because those are her family, her friends, her cousins," Gholar said.
