The Top 30 Hand-Made Signs From The Women's Marches Around The World

People

We heard all about the Women's March on Washington, but what actually happened was men, women and children from all over the world came together on Saturday, January 21st. The official website reads, "In the spirit of democracy and honoring the champions of human rights, dignity, and justice who have come before us, we join in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore. The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us."

This global effort was an amazing showing of solidarity and hope for what currently seems like a pretty bleak future. One of the greatest immediate takeaways were all of the amazing, witty, inspiring and creative signs that people carried all over the world.

Here are just some of the many:

1. This timeless MLK quote

2. Support for the Notorious RBG

3. This realization

4. Did you hear the classic dystopian novel "1984" is trending again?... I can only wonder why

5. Obama-Clinton 2020? (The ones who haven't been President yet, of course)

6. This reminder of hope

7. This inspiring quote from Malala Yousafzai

8. This incredibly accurate wordplay

9. Plz come back!!!

10. Not even grandma's happy anymore

11. The Golden Rule applies to Twitter too!

12. Didn't see that one coming, now did you?

13. Friendly reminder that this country was founded for the purpose of religious freedom...

14. These honest truths

15. Even emoji's get it

16. This probably is the most aggressive thing that happened all day

17. Fandoms unite

18. This scarily accurate depiction

19. The power of strong women transcends generations

20. Remember that the only people who aren't immigrants are the Native Americans

21. New decades, same problems

22. Even had some classic "Mean Girls" humor

23. This awe-inspiring woman

24. Ah, the irony

25. But who doesn't love IKEA?

26. This adage

27. Exasperation personified

28. The cutest tiny protestor with a huge message

29. THIS reminder of what it's really all about

30. And my personal favorite sign

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.
