Skyler Tepedino - Women's March to Trump's Inauguration

Summary:

Inauguration Day, when the President Elect, Donald Trump was going to become our new president
turned out to be a very harsh moment for most women to take in. The day after the inauguration was the Women's March movement that millions of people participated in. Looking at all the people who attended both events, the one that had the most was the Women's March movement by a long shot. All over the U.S. thousands of people marched, protested, and represented women just by holding up signs and chanting phrases. Some of those signs said "Make America Equal," or "Watch out Trump my generation votes next." These signs were held by children, teenagers, parents, and even the elderly. Because of all the different generation of women and girls marching, it puts a bigger emphasis on the problem that is at steak.

Analysis:

To me, this march for women means a lot to me and many other women and girls. As a teenager who knows and has has studied and wrote multiple papers on his debates and the election, I understand why the women are frustrated and why they would want to protest around the U.S. Something that is equal to this event is when there were no women's rights during the 1840's. Women would march with signs and protest what they think is wrong and try to make it right. This article really hit me hard because is realized that in the next presidential debate I will be of age to vote and to participate
in the future runnings. Most of the people at the march are from my generation... so this next election will be interesting if President Trump decides to run again.
