The 2017 Women’s March became famous for its hats and crowd size. Now, that Trump is returning to the White House, the march will be back but organizers tell Kelly Rissman that they expect a much smaller turnout

Summary

Organizers of the 2017 Women’s March are planning the “People’s March” on January 18, 2025, ahead of Donald Trump’s second inauguration.

Unlike the record-breaking 2017 protest with 500,000 people, this multi-issue demonstration, addressing abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, and more, expects a smaller turnout of 50,000.

Organizers acknowledge shifting political dynamics and aim to build a sustainable movement by connecting participants with advocacy organizations.

      We only got a second trump term because the center wing of the party was so disinterested in opposing it.
