The Women's March was initially centered around Washington, however it soon became a record-breaking worldwide protest to promote gender equality, LGBTQ rights and to address racial inequities.

Facebook and Twitter exploded with photos of pre-march poster parties. There were even reports that stores had sold out of poster board in Washington and other cities.

The Women’s March initially centered around Washington DC but evolved into a total of 576 protests around the globe. 408 marches took place in the U.S., and 168 in other countries.
