KAWARTHA LAKES-On January 21, 2017 more the 600 Canadians took part in the Women’s March on Washington. It went down in the record books as the biggest political demonstration in history in Washington. Some estimates say 700,000 people took part and millions more worldwide. The march was organized by women who were concerned with comments made my US President Donald Trump and how those comments could affect women’s reproductive rights, healthcare and more.
As a journalist I was honored to have borne witness to such an historic event. The sheer number of people who came out to collectively make a statement was shocking and inspiring. Here’s my video story from Washington:
