Add a massive mobilization of feminists in D.C. to the list of ways that people hope to combat the presidency of a man who has repeatedly insulted, shamed, and bragged about assaulting women.
Several people came up with the idea independently and created different event pages. As they spread on Facebook, they found each other and agreed to team up on a Million Woman March.
"It's the most organic thing you’ve ever heard of," says Bob Bland, a New York-based entrepreneur, fashion designer, and activist. "We made the decision to collaborate and consolidate early yesterday—right after we found out about each other." She teamed up with Fontaine Pearson, who is based in Tennessee, and Evie Harmon, in South Carolina—none of whom knew each other previously—to help lead the growing interest in showing up en masse in Washington.
Within hours of consolidating their efforts, tens of thousands of women (and men) said they planned to attend a march from the Lincoln Memorial to the White House on January 21, Donald Trump's first full day in office. State-level coordinators are helping lead efforts to bring people in, and a group in D.C. is already working on permitting and other logistics.

We live in the DC area, and some of my wife’s friends asked if she was coming to the Million Woman March. She said she had better things to do.
Guess it’s time to call up the million bikers to dc. Perfect time to get the million feminist washing bikes.
It’ll turn into a pub crawl for the few who showed...
I bet that'll smell bad.
Hetero? He broke my GayDAR.
Is this a contest to how many butt ugly foul mouth harridans you can pack on to the Mall?
That's the truth! Of course, they're still at the tantrum stage; practical issues will come later. There will probably be a hundred mean, shivering, menopausal beasts on the Mall.
Good luck finding hotel rooms, ladies.
So you’re gonna get a million women to get hotel reservations in DC the day after Trump takes office?
Good luck with that.
By the way, there will ALREADY BE a bunch of feminazis in town because of the anniversary of Roe v Wade. So any number that is there for “million women march” can be sure to have some “baked in” amount, since the feminazis will be there to celebrate dead babies.
They’re all going to be frigid...
I hope Trump gets a wonderful sunny day for inauguration and it turns bitter cold and sleet or snow on the day of the “march”.
I hope for rains or a snow storm.
A friend of mine was in NYC yesterday afternoon and witnessed hundreds of protesters sleeping on the sidewalks, LOL! Good luck, ladies.
