As we began the Trump Presidency, women from around the world rallied together to send a clear message of resistance, but we can't stop now -- 500,000 people attended the march in D.C. but our work is nowhere near done.

Now, a full week into a Presidency that is marked with bigotry and lies, we must continue to resist. We must not stop sharing our messages of hope, equality, and acceptance. Here are four upcoming protests, marches, and rallies that you can support. They are listed by date.

1. The Trump Taxes March

Where: Washington D.C., Sister marches are being organized

When: April 15th

Organizer’s primary goal is to have President Trump release his tax returns, but they are working on a mission statement that encompasses their entire platform.

2. The Immigrants March

Where: Washington D.C., Sister marches are being organized

When: May 6th

Having just been granted a permit, the Immigrants March is set to bring people together to silence bigotry and end attacks on immigrants in the United States. This is a direct result of President Trump's executive order to ban refugees and immigrants from entering the United States.

3. The National Pride March

Where: Washington D.C., Sister marches are being organized

When: June 8th-11th

Working in conjunction with the Capital Pride Alliance, organizers are hoping the march will be part of the Celebration of Pride in Washington D.C. They urge people to travel to Washington for the entirety of Pride weekend in an effort to have all voices heard loudly and clearly.

4. The March of Science

Where: Washington D.C., Sister marches are being organized

When: TBA

In reaction to the unconstitutional ban the President has placed on the scientific community, scientists and everyone who supports them are rallying in Washington D.C.. The date is to be determined but they have a clear outline for what the march stands for:

“The March for Science is a diverse, nonpartisan group that defends and celebrates publicly funded and publicly accessible science as a foundation of American freedom and prosperity. Science guides nearly every aspect of our lives and it is critical that political leaders and policymakers support scientific research and incorporate science into their decision making.”

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
