“Women’s March” Against Trump

On January 23, protests against Donald Trump’s policies took place not only in the United States, but also in other cities around the world, with several million people participating in the actions. The ironic pussy hat – a pink hat with ears referring to Trump’s offensive quote about “pussy” – became a symbol of the struggle for equality and made the cover of Time magazine, and the “Women’s March” once again showed that the feminist agenda covers many social issues, including racism and oppression of minorities. Thousands of ordinary people and dozens of celebrities supported the protests, with Gloria Steinem, Scarlett Johansson, Angela Davis, Whoopi Goldberg, Cher, Madonna and other top stars taking the stage in different cities.

Anna Narinskaya spoke in detail in her column about why the “Women’s March” should be taken seriously. On March 8, the organizers of the march plan to hold a nationwide strike – we’ll be keeping a close eye on events, and we advise you to do the same.
