The October 17 Women's March: Everything You Need To Know

Over 100 marches have been added to the DC Womens March on Oct 17th in most cities. This is not the annual march but a special one recently organized due to the fast tracking of the SCOTUS pick.

"When the president made clear his intent to go against Justice Ginsburg’s wishes to wait until after the impending election to appoint her replacement, women everywhere realized this would put the many rights and privileges they’ve fought so hard for under immediate threat."

"On Saturday, October 17, women will be marching everywhere across the country to send an unmistakable message about the fierce opposition to Trump and his agenda, including his attempt to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat,” the announcement read. “If Donald Trump is allowed to appoint another Supreme Court Justice, Roe v Wade will be overturned. It’s that simple. This is everything that the Women’s March has warned about since day one of Trump’s presidency."
