Women’s March history/information:
The Women’s March was a worldwide protest on January 21, 2017, the day after the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Tensions rose due to statements made by Donald Trump, considered by many as anti-women or otherwise offensive. It was the largest single-day protest in US. history.

A PussyhatTM is a pink, knitted hat created in large numbers by thousands of participants. The PussyhatTM is a symbol of support and solidarity for women’s rights and political resistance."
