In 2020, the Women's March made an extra effort to include Women of Color. Maybe this lack of inclusion was more of an issue elsewhere, but I definitely remember Latina and African American speakers in prior years.
That said, it definitely was MORE diverse this year, with Native American women leading the march, and drawing attention to the problem of missing and murdered indigenous women, and the lack of action by law enforcement to find these victims. The issue of violence against black trans women was also specifically addressed.
As always, there were great signs.
Stay tuned for more....
