23 Women's March Signs That Are Fierce & Feminist As Hell

Thousands took to the streets in cities across the country on Saturday, Jan. 20, to participate in this year's Women's March. The demonstrations were as exuberant and hopeful as they were the year before, and the feminist, funny signs from this 2018 Women's March show that people have managed to keep their sanity — and humor — despite the whirlwind of a year 2017 was.

It's been one year since Donald Trump was inaugurated as president, and, boy, has it been a rough one. In one year alone, Trump has clamped down on reproductive rights, taken a hardline immigration stance that is ripping American families apart, and emboldened white supremacists. He has used Twitter to announce haphazard policy decisions, personally attack people of color and women, and conduct an escalating war of words with a world leader armed with nuclear weapons. As president, Trump is presiding over a country with deep political divisions that many say he has made even worse.

But it's not all doom and gloom. The policies his administration has put out and the mere fact that he, a real estate mogul who has peddled racist conspiracies and bragged about sexual assault on tape, can become president has sparked a tsunami of political activism. And the turnout at the 2018 Women's March is indication that this wave of political involvement will carry on through the next three years of Trump's term.
