Three years ago, on Jan. 21, 2017, hundreds of thousands of women from across the nation marched through the streets of Washington, D.C., in a powerful display of activism following the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Marches were also held in cities across the world that year, including one at the state Capitol in Hartford, which drew about 10,000 people. Similar gatherings were held in 2018. Last year, the group called Womenu2019s March Connecticut drew nearly 3,000 people to the state Capitol.nAnd while activists in pink hats again marched in Washington and New York this past weekend, there were no womens march in Connecticut this year. Instead, local organizers held a series of press conferences Saturday throughout the state on a variety of topics. Womenu2019s March Connecticut said, this year, theyre turning away from one day of mobilization and toward other priorities, such as electing more women to government positions. Itu2019s an evolution of strategy, not of focus but of techniques, emphasized Sarah Raskin, an organizer with the Connecticut branch of the Womenu2019s March. Visit the link in bio to read more about the evolution of the Womens March movement.
