The "official" rally is planned for March, but some other demonstrations were held in Portland, Oregon. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 03:53, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Undue weight?
Don't have any data to support this. Maybe there were many small marches, which we haven't documented we could do this. We should avoid creating the impression that this year was anything like 2017 or 2018 if it wasn't. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:21, 25 January 2019 (UTC).

Updated Information for Nebraska's Women's March
The section on the Women's March in Lincoln Nebraska could be updated as the march had already taken place on 1/27/2019. Women and even very young girls came to the march and much of the focus was on missing or murdered indigenous people --Angelacaooo (talk) 06:10, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Contribution plan
Our group project for our Social Movements and Social Media class at UC Berkeley involves contributing to this page.

Our plans for updating the Women’s March 2019 Wikipedia page include incorporating attendance data, new groups joining and others withdrawing their support, and the goals of the 2019 Women’s March and future marches.

First, we would like to include how many people came to the 2019 march versus the initial 2017 march. We plan to add this information in the introduction. The Guardian notes that tens of thousands of participants showed up in 2019, which is significantly less than the initial march with millions of participants nationally.

In the sponsorship section, it is important to add past supporters that have withdrawn support for the 2019 Women’s March in light of the controversy. A Forbes article states that the NAACP and the Human Rights Campaign had planned to withdraw their support for the 2019 Women’s March. Additionally, we also want to add that New Wave Feminists, a group against abortion, joined in this year’s march, despite being removed as a partner before the 2017 march. We also want to include the opinion that the march did not represent all women, excluding the voices of pro-life women, Christian and Catholic women, and more.

We would like to add a section about the goals of the 2019 Women’s March that were put forth by the Women’s March organization itself. The Women’s March website includes an agenda of the work they are advocating for. The Women’s March organized 70 movement leaders to develop an agenda of 24 essential federal policies that “form the foundation of the 2019 Women’s March on Washington and will establish the priorities of the movement over the course of two years. Some of these policies that are prioritized include: ending violence against women and femmes, ending state violence, immigrant rights, disability rights, racial justice, environmental justice and LGBTQIA’s rights. We want to create this section right above the Regional Marches section.

We would also like to address the impacts of the movement as well as the critiques that the movement faced during the last year and how it affected the turnout of the event during the past few month. The movement successfully incorporated social media as a tactic to spread information about upcoming events, dates, and speakers and proved to be a strong unifying force for women all around the country. However, it did face critiques later on, most notably of the organization being anti semitic, which could be the cause of the recent lower turnout rate.

Lastly, in the Regional Marches section, we plan on adding details in regard to upcoming women’s marches that will be taking place in 2019, as well as expanding details on the march that took place on January 19, 2019. There will be a march taking place in Berlin on May 9, 2019, which we will add in the regional marches section. We also plan on revising certain statements whose tenses are no longer correct (i.e. “While some local groups are boycotting the march, it will be held in Eureka on Saturday, January 19, according to an article in the Times Standard on January 16, 2019”).

Adding Detail
Some sections of the regional marches are quite bare, like Michigan and Nebraska, and it might be helpful to add to what specifically happened at those marches, especially because California has such a dense section. Additionally, shedding more light on the funders of the march would be interesting. Overall, the grammar and formatting of the article follow guidelines. Aileenxgui (talk) 18:32, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Adding some detail
Maybe add some more background about each of the founders as well as go provide more details as to why is it that they started this organization and what was their primary goal overall. Also, talk a little bit more about the struggles they went through. I feel like the outline is good overall, but adding more details to each tab will definitely improve this article a little bit more. thank you Marquez94n (talk) 04:27, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
