19 Creative Signs At The Women's March That You'll Get A Kick Out Of
On Jan. 20, 2018, hundreds of thousands of people turned out in the streets in cities and towns across America, participating in the second annual Women's March. The various marches by all accounts drew big turnouts, and some of the images going around on social media show just how clever some of marchers got with their signs ― there were lots of creative Women's March signs, in fact, that you'll probably get a kick out of.
Especially if you didn't make it out to one of the marches to see things for yourself! The march saw people turn out for major, hugely attended rallies in cities from coast to coast ― in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Boston, Washington D.C., and so many others ― to smaller, more local ones, too. After the first year of the Trump administration, it provided a stark reminder of just how much activist energy currently exists on the Democratic left, and how willing people are to speak out in favor of political resistance.
It's also almost always the case that massive public protests include tons of handmade signs, bearing political slogans, moral statements, or sometimes, simply funny and clever jokes. And there were plenty of them on display on Saturday.
