41 Quotes From The Women's March That We Can't Forget

This past weekend, women broke history. Women stood together to fight for their rights. To say no to something they don’t believe in. To fight for the rights of their children. There was approximately 4.6 million people marching around the world. Almost 700 sister marches to the march on Washington. Together I have compiled an eclectic list of quotes that defined this march. Quotes that hopefully will not only help you understand but inspire you to march for women’s rights. It’s not about what party you’re in. It’s about standing against injustice. It’s about fighting for people's lives.

2. “Nasty women grab back.”

3. “Respect existence or expect resistance.”

4. “We don’t want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants.”

5. “We all belong here. We will defend each other.”

6. “Achieving our full selves by fully embracing each other.”

7. “Hope not fear.”

8. “Each time a woman stands up for herself without knowing it possible, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” –Maya Angelou

10. “We can, we have and we will.”

11. “We shall overcomb.”

12.“ Make America think again.”

14. “Not about party affiliation. This is important. Come together.”

15. “I stand for planned parenthood. This organization which provides women across the nation access to annual gynecological exams and cancer screenings that could save lives. March on!”

16. “My rights are not up for grabs.”

17. “Include women in the sequel, the future is female.”

18. “I am not free while any woman is unfree even when her shackles are very different from my own.”

19. “Toxic masculinity ruins the country.”

20. “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”

31. “Women are the wall and Trump will pay.”

32. “Our bodies, our minds, our power.”

33. “Shed walls don’t build them.”

34. “So bad, introverts are here.”

35. “Girls just wanna have fun(damental human rights).”

36. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

37. “I march because I am enough. I march because I’ve had enough. I march because enough is enough.”

38. “Viva la vulva.”

39. “A woman’s place is in the resistance.”

40. “Trust women to choose.”

41. “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.”

****

And if you refuse to stand by our side, then don’t stand in our way.
