The Women’s March has the ability to spark a great change in this world as well as wreak havoc. But luckily, they seem to have the former in mind.

This organization has a variety of causes and beliefs that is supports, including equality among all races, genders, and religions. They advocate for women’s/human rights at large but also support the LGBTQ community and many others.

Movements that support equal rights have become quite common, especially in today’s society. But, with a conservative president recently elected whom has expressed an interest in limiting various rights for women, such as abortion, the sense of unity has continually grown within this group.

Throughout various marches, there were several radical groups that participated in the Women’s March who advocated for move violent action, but there was a large portion that was advocating for fair treatment of groups who fear discrimination.

Ultimately, I believe the organization’s motives are justly expressed and have a community that strongly supports them and the rights they fight for.

In a time of great stress, this group is able to bring people from all backgrounds together in a unified and mostly peaceful environment.
