The rallies were largely aimed at President Donald Trump due to his political statements deemed anti-women. The march did not only stop with one million people rioting in Washington D.C.. Data shows that over five million people worldwide marched for the cause. The women&#8217;s march in D.C. was shown to be more crowded than the Inauguration of President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In the Google Drive data that I have collected thus far, there are 300 tweets. Most of the tweets with the location setting turned on are coming from the US, from states like Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, New York, Massachusetts, etc. \u00a0I was amazed to see tweets from Brazil, Indonesia, and Australia tweeting about women\u2019s rights in America, using accompanying hashtags like #StayInvolved, #BeBold, #Resist. The wide range of tweets from countries all over the world show that this is a large issue not only for individuals living in the U.S., but for individuals across the globe. Most of the tweets are protesting women\u2019s rights with other accompanying hashtags lie #StandUpToTrump, #WeThePeople, #NoBanNoWall. Another interesting point about this hashtag is that a lot of women celebrities are using the hashtag to raise awareness of women\u2019s rights. For example, Jennifer Lawrence tweeted during the Women\u2019s March to \u201cfight for equality, fight for women to have their bodies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>What I observed about this hashtag is similar to the tweets I expected to see. I expected a lot of tweets lashing out at President Trump and using accompanying hashtags lie #resist, #womensrights, and #StandwithPP. I noticed that there is one tweet that has been retweeted quite often, which was originally written by @AMERICA_PARTII, saying, &#8220;The liberal mentality that angers me the most is their ? #maga #draintheswamp #tcot #whyimarch #liblogic&#8230;&#8221;. A lot of people also retweeted a tweet written by @SOMEXICAN saying, &#8220;For those of you who don&#8217;t understand #WhyIMarch&#8221;, and there is a video attached with interviews of why people marched in the women&#8217;s march on January 21st.<\/p>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.4.5 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1f8NVQv6KAgobFOzUgM5Oype1Baw-COXOftYa_luuFDI\/pubhtml?gid=400689247&#038;amp;single=true&#038;amp;widget=true&#038;amp;headers=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am collecting data about the #WhyIMarch hashtag to explore the variety of issues that people all over the world are protested against in the women&#8217;s march and will continue to protest in the future.
