On January 21, 2017, The Women’s March on Washington became the biggest global movement in American history: 1.2 million people flooded the streets of Washington D.C. and more than 5 million people marched in over 300 sister marches in cities across the globe.
Women, men and gender-nonconforming people of all races, ages, faiths and abilities came together to raise their voices and march for a “world that is equitable, tolerant, just and safe for all, one in which the human rights and dignity of each person is protected and our planet is safe from destruction.” – Women’s March
With unique and exclusive access to the courageous women organizers of the movement, Kisha Bari documented them throughout—from meetings at their New York headquarters to organizing in hotel rooms in Washington D.C. and concluding on the day of the march.
