Was The Women's March A Success?

#1

More than a million people turned up for the women's march held on Saturday. 50 states all united together to display dissent against the new President. Undoubtedly the march was a success with the incredible turnout that included dozens of celebrities, but the question here is what will happen next?

Now the challenge facing the organizers is how to ensure that this action ensures a political change in the country. Minutes after the march ended the organizers had arranged a pep rally in Washington titled "Where do we go from here?". The leaders maybe thinking that the common thread that is, revulsion and contempt against the man who is now President maybe just the power boost they needed.

Cecile Richards, one of the sponsors and the President of Planned Parenthood saw another rallying cry "the women in America are not going back". The directer of the National Domestic Workers Alliance said, that the organizers intended to study the protests in all 50 states and identify the issues.

Even before the march, the left was seizing panic over the new President's rally voters who were roused during the election.

The march might have been a success but the women's movement yet faces many potential hindrances. Leaders believe that the only way to mobilize the movement is to sweep many disparate groups which risk the diluting of their message. Minority women say that they are concerned whether the new attention to white working class might mean de-emphasizing issues of race for fear of alienating white voters.
