Four organizations have sued the national Women's March group — led by activists Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez and Linda Sarsour — over efforts to trademark the name, arguing that no entity can own the march or the activism it has inspired. Some groups have sought to rebrand to shed the "Women's March" name and the tumult that comes with it.

Sounds great.

Also, I’m still blushing being in the company of the distinguished FReepers you sent this reply to: Jim Robinson and Liz. I’ll try to not let it go to my head.
