But it made sense to organize the first major post-Inauguration protest march around women, who are almost 51% of the American population, who have been maligned and attacked by the new President, and who make up a group within which every other vulnerable population exists.
In addition to women rights, immigrants were also up in arms against the policy directives of the new US president.
During the protest rallies six days before the inauguration, some advocates claimed that they were pushing protection for the young undocumented immigrants known as dreamers from being deported in case Trump revokes the executive orders Obama instituted to keep them from being sent back to their countries of origin and which allow them to obtain work permits, details Business Standard.
Monica Camacho, an undocumented young woman who came to the US from Mexico in 2002 when she was seven years old, and who joined the protest to make it clear that despite being afraid, she and others in her situation will keep fighting.
She said that the US is their home because as immigrants, they give a lot to give the country. Their parents brought them here when they were little, and it is also the country of their parents.
Camacho added that the community is worried and scared, but they are going to keep up the struggle anyway. The young woman pointed out that there’s always the fear of what can happen but they are sticking together.
