At Women’s March Event, Organizers Say They Are Preparing a ‘Comeback
Tour’
At a demonstration on Saturday, the crowd was small and enthusiasm was
lacking. But organizers are planning a big march ahead of the
inauguration.

"On Saturday, after former President Donald J. Trump’s re-election
dashed progressives’ hopes of a new era for women’s rights and other
left-wing causes, Women’s March held a hastily arranged
protest-cum-dance party outside the headquarters of a conservative think
tank in Washington. Only about a few hundred people showed up.
The first Women’s March, held in the aftermath of Mr. Trump’s 2017
inauguration, drew hundreds of thousands of people to the National Mall
in Washington to protest what they feared would be an assault on
reproductive rights, immigrants and civil rights under his
administration. But this week, Women’s March organizers are grappling
with despair among their base that the president they oppose has been
elected to a second term, and questions about where the movement is
headed.
The goal of the Saturday afternoon event was to reinvigorate the
organization’s progressive base after the election and perhaps to
unleash some anger at the Heritage Foundation, the think tank that had
designed a policy playbook for a second Trump administration, Project
2025, whose goals included aggressively curtailing access to abortion.
The foundation did not immediately respond on Saturday evening to a
request for comment.
“You are not going to take our joy,” said Rachel O’Leary Carmona, the
executive director of Women’s March, before singing along to the music.
