American women against Trump: “Elect a clown, expect a circus”
23-1-2018
Hundreds of thousands took to the streets of cities across the US last Saturday, namely Los Angeles, New York City, Washington DC, Chicago and Boston, to protest President Donald Trump, his agenda and Administration’s policies. This is the second anti-Trump march of women on the one-anniversary of Trump’s inauguration. The mass demonstrations over the weekend mark a year since the historic Women’s March in January 2017 where over 3 million people took to the streets nationwide to voice their opposition to Trump’s election. This year’s women march also aims to motivate Americans to register their names in the electoral lists and encourage women participation in the US midterm elections 2018. During the rally, protestors hoisted signs which read, ‘A woman’s place is in the White House’, and ‘elect a clown, expect a circus’. Among the speakers in NYC’s rally were activist and actress Rosie Perez and actress Whoopi Goldberg who said, “we are here to say- as women- we are not taking it anymore.” For her part, 44-year old artist Heather Arndt stated: “Trump should be aware that we are coming together as a powerful force and we are going to change this after he has been elected despite the way he has treated women.” In response, Trump tweeted calling on the people to march and celebrate historic achievements and unprecedented economic success recorded in the past 12 months, as he put it.
