Fusion Comedy shares some of the funniest signs seen in the Women’s March on Saturday, in which at least 3.5 to 4.7 million people rallied the world over! The Washington rally alone attracted over 500,000 people according to city officials. It was easily one of the biggest demonstrations in the city’s history and as night fell, not a single arrest was reported.
Marchers in Washington chanted “Welcome to your first day, we will not go away!”
The following is but a very small sample of signage carried by men, women, children and even dogs – who have rights too:
“Thou shall not mess with women’s reproductive rights. Fallopians 4:29” You know it’s bad when Librarians are marching! I shouldn’t have to choose between respecting my President and respecting myself, If not for immigrants Donald Trump Wouldn’t Have Wives, Our Rights are Not Up For Grabs (either)
According to ABC:
Along with women, many in pink hats, plenty of men joined in, too, contributing to the turnout everywhere from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles to Mexico City, Paris, Berlin, London, Prague and Sydney. The international outpouring served to underscore the degree to which Trump has unsettled people in both hemispheres.“We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our new president is waging a war,” actress America Ferrera told the Washington crowd. “Our dignity, our character, our rights have all been under attack, and a platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday. But the president is not America. … We are America, and we are here to stay.”
Various causes were attached to the march, including climate change. The march, which was largely billed as a demonstration in support of women’s rights and civil rights, but for many has clear political undertones connected to the inauguration of Donald Trump.
The rally featured speeches from women’s rights activist Gloria Steinem, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, Madonna, actresses Ashley Judd and Scarlett Johansson and director Michael Moore among others.
A group of largely women senators and other politicians took the stage together at one point, including Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, Claire McCaskill, D-MO, and newly elected senators Kamala Harris, D-CA, and Tammy Duckworth, D-IL, who addressed the group as did Rep. Maxine Waters, D-CA. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-FL, and Sen. Cory Booker, D-NJ, were also on stage.
