Women's march against Trump tomorrow (Saturday)
Some of us are meeting at Ealing Broadway station at 11.45 to go to the march. Join us if you wish. Below is the text from the march organisers website which explains why the marches are taking place. ‘The US election proved a catalyst for a grassroots movement of women to assert the positive values that the politics of fear denies. On January 21 2017, the first day of Donald Trump’s Presidency, women-led marches, welcoming all participants, will take place across the world, with the largest expected in Washington D.C.. We, the organisers of the London march, call on people of all genders to march in London as part of an international day of action in solidarity.We will march, wherever we march, for the protection of our fundamental rights and for the safeguarding of freedoms threatened by recent political events. We unite and stand together for the dignity and equality of all peoples, for the safety and health of our planet and for the strength of our vibrant and diverse communities.We will come together in the spirit of democracy, honouring the champions of human rights who have gone before us. Please spread the word, so that our numbers are too great to ignore and the message to the world is clear. The politics of fear and division have no place in 2017’If you are unable to join a march or event in person, the organisers have set up a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Womens-March-London-Link-Up-1244171579005584/ where you can leave a message of support and solidarity. They will also be streaming the march live on both their website (https://www.womensmarchlondon.com/) and the above Facebook page.
