The demonstrations for International Women's Day in the United States were marked by slogans against Donald Trump. Hundreds of people took to the streets in the major cities of the country, with the Women’s March being the most popular call. Unlike in previous years, this time the turnout was notably lower under the slogan "Unite and Resist."
In New York, more than a thousand people, mainly adult white women, marched from Washington Square Park to Union Square in rejection of the Trump Administration, which they labeled as "fascist." Signs advocating for gender equality, reproductive rights, and the rights of the LGBTQ+ community were displayed, as well as others criticizing the government and expressing support for Ukraine and Palestine.
During the demonstration, while a group of girls danced to the rhythm of ABBA, an organizer denounced through a megaphone the actions of the Trump Administration, such as the "purge" of federal employees, the pardon of the "insurrectionists" from the Capitol assault, and the lack of action against climate change. Despite the strong messages, the day proceeded peacefully.
In total, the Women’s March organization had called for around 300 events across the country, with an estimated attendance of 37,000 people. In cities like Boston and Los Angeles, protests were also recorded, though without massive calls. In Boston, protesters performed a dance act in protest of Elon Musk's influence in the Trump Administration, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
