Nearly eight years after the historic Women’s March following President Donald Trump’s first inauguration, the organization behind the movement is once again planning protests in Washington, D.C., and New York City.

The Women's March group is returning with a series of D.C. protests in light of President-elect Trump's win. Why it matters: The first Women's March was held the day after Trump's 2017 inauguration to protest what the participants saw as threats the administration posed to issues like civil rights and gender equality.

Thousands of women rallied in the capital and across the country for a Kamala Harris presidency — and to proclaim their resistance to Republican aims to restrict women’s reproductive rights.
