The day after the 2017 presidential inauguration proved to be even more historical than the day of. Organized by the efforts of three women of color, Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour, the Women’s March took to a national and global stage to send a message to Trump, his presidency, his supporters, and the whole world saying “We are here, and we are ready.” The inaugural protest inspired and empowered so many, but left the question “What next?” hanging on all our tongues. Now we have the answer. The organizers of the Women’s March have organized A Day Without Women– a general strike scheduled for International Women’s Day, March 8. They made the announcement on the Women’s March instagram account, and on their website they’ve posted an outline of all the ways we can participate including taking the day off, abstaining from shopping for the day (except for small, women- and minority- owned businesses), and wearing red.
