Although smaller crowds than the prior year, the 2020 women’s March drew thousands across the country but kept the same distinct message it had when it began four years ago: Get rid of Donald Trump.
For the fourth consecutive year thousands of people across the U.S., mostly women, gathered in Staten Island, New York and across the globe to rally for solidarity, equality and unity for the Women’s March 2020.
Marches were also organized in cities on five continents including Norway, Oslo, Chiang Mai, Thailand and Lagos, Nigeria. Similar to the first protest following President Trump’s inauguration at the National Women’s March in Washington, D.C., protesters organized for the fourth year with sister marches in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, San Jose, Milwaukee, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas, and other U.S. cities.
Nikki Negron, Staten Island ‘Women Who March’ communications director (SIWWM). said “We Staten Island women who march first found each other at the 2017 women’s march, and we’ve been marching, rallying, and organizing here on Staten Island ever since.”
Negro added, “In 2020 our focus is primarily on engaging our community to march to the polls and to ensure they receive the representation and resources we deserve on Staten Island. Lots of our members are out today for this empowering tradition, to reinvigorate our resistance and remind us of the power of our collective voice”.
One of the march’s most powerful moments occurred outside of the White House and the Trump International Hotel as a group of protesters from the Chilean feminist collective ‘Las Tesis’ chanted a feminist protest anthem against rape and violence towards women, “Un Violador en Tu Camino” (“A Rapist in Your Path”), direct towards Trump.
