There was a brilliant turnout on Saturday in Shipley for the Women's March. It was organised by 'Shipley Feminist Zealots' (who formed after our local MP, the Conservative Philip Davies, famously made a speech at a conference last summer on men's issues in which he said: "Feminist zealots really do want women to have their cake and eat it.") It was one of a number of marches in the UK taking place in solidarity with our sisters in Washington DC, who are demonstrating their opposition to the newly elected President of the United States of America, Donald Trump. Most of the marches were in the big cities so I was proud of our little town. Estimates suggest there were more than 1500 marchers in Shipley.
He's certainly succeeding in uniting at least half of the world's population!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to be unity always:)
ReplyDeleteNow if all those women could have voted in the U.S. election!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Our local march had a good turnout, over 14,000.
ReplyDeleteThere was a march here as well- something that was very good to see.
ReplyDeleteI hope all this work continues for the next years to come!
