Talk:2022 Women's March

How many "Days of Action" in 2022?
Every year since 2017, both during and after the Trump administration's first (& hopefully only) term, Women's March organization has had at least one "Day of Action" - i.e., a date where hundreds of cities and towns nationwide participate all at once. These dates were initially scheduled in January, close to the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, from 2017 to 2020. The passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in Sept 2020 and subsequent confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett would shift priorities, leading to a second 2020 march in October. And even with Trump out of the White House, his three appointed justices would soon help carry out his pledge to overturn Roe vs. Wade with a case from Jackson, MS; that plus recent anti-choice laws in red states like Texas would spur yet another October "Day of Action" in 2021. The circumstances surrounding the actual timing of SCOTUS overturning Roe with Dobbs (i.e. midterm-election year and draft leak) led to, IMO, not just one but THREE pivotal "Days of Action" in May, June|June & October of 2022. I took it upon myself to launch event lists for all three occasions, with reference to the Crowd Count Consortium website. Recently, though, I was informed about the prevalence of social media posts as accrued with legitimate secondary sources in the making of such lists, apparently incompatible with Wikipedia editing policy. As such, one particular editor went so far as to delete the latter two list pages and redirect (but not before cutting them down with a sledgehammer); only the May 2022 list remains, but with a template message marked at the top like a scarlet letter. The same message has been stamped on most of the other "List of 20xx Women's March" pages and then some other causes, forcing me to reassess and update/readjust all the work that's been done (and not just by yours truly). It's now 2023, and what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade is just a few days away, with yet another "Day of Action" to happen on January 22nd (hereby labelled as "Bigger Than Roe"). I'm sure somebody is going to encapsulate this year in the Women's March template - I myself am being very cautious about references this time, I assure you - and there's no guarantee that January will be the only "Day of Action" in 2023. Still, could we still take another look at 2022? Just saying Jmaxfield18 (talk) 20:45, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
