2017 came with a lot of bad news: natural disasters, acts of domestic terrorism, and not to mention everything that went on in the political sphere. But while 2017 dealt us a terrible hand, we’re here to remind you that not everything was bad and that some of the best examples of hope came from where you’d least expect it.
Women All Over America Protested For Humans Everywhere
The year started off on a strong note with the 2017 Women’s March. Held on the day following President Trump’s inauguration, millions of women gathered for a worldwide protest to not only advocate for women’s rights and equality but also other human rights and social issues including immigration reform, health care, LBGTQ rights, religious freedom, and racial inequality. The Women’s March was the largest single-day protest in U.S. history. While it was initially meant to take place in Washington D.C., the movement spread as women all across the country participated in their respective cities.
