18 Quotes For Your 2018 Women's March Posters To Make Your Voice Even Louder
The world watched in awe last year in 2017 as the first Women's March quickly became the largest single-day protest in history. This year, the momentum is in full force to send the same message loud and clear: Women are not backing down and we will never stop fighting for equality. A huge success of the Women's March last year was the fact that all people who participated had the opportunity to make their voices heard, either by showing up to support or by writing the messages important to them and showcasing them proudly on their posters as they marched in solidarity. Social media can attest to the fact that many of the quotes for Women's March 2018 posters last year were smart, real, candid, and powerful. This year, it's safe to assume they'll be even more poignant as we continue the fight into 2018.
If you aren't already familiar, the Women's March is a political movement that aims to fight for and call out injustices while advocating for change. Last year, the Women's March Alliance orchestrated its first march in Washington D.C. and had approximately 750,000 people in attendance, according to its site. These efforts were mirrored across the world, with an estimated 4 to 5 million people turning out to protest worldwide.
This year, the Women's March will take place in Las Vegas on Sunday, Jan. 21. There will also be two additional women's marches to take place the day before on Saturday, Jan. 20 in New York City and in Washington D.C. If you're not living in one of these major cities, you can search for other sister marches nearby.
