The Women’s March on Washington will take place on Jan 21, 2017. Similar marches are planned for other cities around the country. The organizers say the purpose of the demonstrations is to bring awareness to issues of women’s rights and health.
Sexual assault is a matter of women’s rights and health. Our new “president” famously bragged on a hot mic of committing numerous sexual assaults over the course of many years. Many women have publicly come forward with allegations of being assaulted by Donald Trump, and one has filed suit against Trump for defamation in response to these allegations.
Songstress Fiona Apple has released a new song in honor of the Woman’s March on Washington, addressing directly the issues of women’s rights and health. The song includes a pointed and infectious protest chant, perfect for marching.
I will be marching locally on Saturday, and probably chanting with Ms. Apple.
