Free Downloads For The Women's March In DC On Jan. 21 Available From The Amplifier Foundation
/This will be one of the saddest weeks of my life, and I will not be watching the victor of one of the ugliest presidential campaigns in history when Donald Trump becomes America's president on January 20, 2017. There is nothing to be done about our president-elect, except to impeach him if a new Senate investigation launched Friday determines that Trump worked in concert with Russians to defeat Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Next Saturday January 21, women -- and countless men marching with us -- will have a response for President Trump. The Washington Post wrote yesterday that city parking permits for 200 buses are being sought for Inauguration Day. The following day 1200 buses and thousands of people coming through private transportation -- or already in Washington for several days of planning and action around women's issues -- will show Trump that huge numbers of Americans are extremely concerned about the impact of his presidency on the majority of Americans.
All reports are that the goal of delivering as many as 200,000 Americans congregating to support The Women's March will be met, and AOC will track the march and related events all week. We will not cover details of the Trump inauguration or any related events unless they are pertinent to women's rights.
The Amplifier Foundation -- an art machine dedicated to social change -- is supporting the march with free wallpaper downloads available here. Eight poster designs by artists who identify as female will be printed and distributed free to march participants.
Artwork from over 5,000 submissions was chosen on January 10, 2017 from an intersectional group of judges including Carmen Perez and Paola Mendoza from the Women’s March on Washington, Cleo Barnett from the Amplifier Foundation, independent artist Swoon, and Jess X. Snow and Favianna Rodriguez.
A minimum of 30,000 posters are on the presses now at Amplifier's female-owned, female-operated printer in Philadelphia. The posters and also nine banners will be distributed around Washington DC. A map of pickup points will be posted, and we will share the information when available.
