More than two and a half million people greeted America’s new president with worldwide protests against all that he stands for over the weekend.
The Woman’s March On Washington drew half a million and protests happened in cities across the United States and the world.
In Washington, Ashley Judd read a poem from 19-year-old Tennessean Nina Donovan using Trump’s “nasty woman” campaign comment.
“I am a nasty woman. I am not as nasty as racism, fraud, conflict of interest, homophobia, sexual assault, transphobia, white supremacy, misogyny, ignorance, white privilege!” Judd said.
The women’s march sent a strong message of protest and resistance to the new American government—a non-violent shot across the bow symbolizing the resistance to come.
