Thousands of protesters set to march in Washington days before Donald Trump’s inauguration

New Indian Express  

WASHINGTON: Eight years since its historic first march, the Women's March is returning on Saturday to the nation's capital just before President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. Women outraged over Trump's 2016 presidential win flocked to Washington in 2017 and organized large rallies in cities throughout the country, building the base of a grassroots movement that became known as the Women's March. The People's March is unusual in the "vast array of issues brought together under one umbrella," said Jo Reger, a sociology professor who researches social movements at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. For a broad-based social justice movement such as the march, conflicting visions are impossible to avoid and there is "immense pressure" for organizers to meet everyone's needs, Reger said.
