Women’s March fractures before the third annual gathering
Two years ago, millions across the globe turned out for a day of demonstration. The Women’s March took place in opposition to the newly elected President Trump. But on the eve of the third annual march, the national organization faces criticism from local groups as to the effectiveness of the march, who it is for and even who can join.
Marissa Lang reports on local news for The Post. She says recent controversies — including efforts to trademark the name of the march — have alarmed and disenfranchised smaller contingencies of the organization.
The tension, she says, “is a top-down approach, rather than a bottom-up approach.”
