The importance of grassroots movements remains clear as day,
particularly in the 21st Century. The election of President Trump
sparked countless protests across the country, while uniting millions
of people globally as individuals came together in opposition to his
hateful rhetoric targeting minorities, women, and other vulnerable
segments of the population. It is this momentum that has manifested
into the Women's March on Washington, which brought millions of people
in cities around the world to march in support of human rights, racial
equality, immigration reform, and other progressive ideals. It was a
dramatic statement of opposition against the perceived wrongs and
violations in our society, and it will help shape the nature of
discourse for many years to come. These social movements are crucial to our democracy.
