The most inspiring tweets from today’s Women’s marches across the world
‘This is what democracy looks like’
Today the women of America, and hundreds of thousands more across the world, took to the streets to protest Donald Trump’s first day in office. Turnout was overwhelming in Washington DC, New York and Chicago as women held signs, chanted and even brought their toddlers along to show their anger and disappointment at a Trump White House.
Here are the internet’s best reactions to the day’s events:
Thanks for standing, speaking & marching for our values @womensmarch. Important as ever. I truly believe we're always Stronger Together.
