Summary
Organizers of the 2017 Women’s March are planning the “People’s March” on January 18, 2025, ahead of Donald Trump’s second inauguration.
Unlike the record-breaking 2017 protest with 500,000 people, this multi-issue demonstration, addressing abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, and more, expects a smaller turnout of 50,000.
Organizers acknowledge shifting political dynamics and aim to build a sustainable movement by connecting participants with advocacy organizations.
Don’t worry, I was told that a second Trump administration would rejuvenate the enthusiasm of the American left-wing to oppose government tyranny

Yeah, the accelerationist argument. Some Germans used that in the 1930s too. How did that work out?
The same people peddling that argument, sadly, will assert, unironically, “Thalmann did nothing wrong”.
There’s no getting through to them. They’re as blinkered and evidence-averse as the conservatives they claim to oppose.
Awkward that we just finished a genocide under dem leadership though isnt it. Spit on the accelerationist argument all you want, but you cant deny that things are badly broken when the dem leadership and their centrist toadies are the ones doing it-- all for some campaign money. Accelerationists have a very solid point when you consider that.
We only got a second trump term because the center wing of the party was so disinterested in opposing it.
