DETROIT
- A
piercing
wake-up
call to
the new
Trump
administration
echoed
from
cities
around
the
globe
Saturday
as
marchers
rallied
in
record
numbers,
unified
in
taking a
stand
against
the
rhetoric
of the
recent
presidential
election.
Donald
Trump
would do
well to
take
note of
the
civics
lesson
in
democracy
that
played
out in
the wake
of his
inauguration;
the
right to
protest
is a
powerful
voice
for
change,
ignore
it at
your own
peril.
From its
epicenter
in
Washington
D.C the
Women’s
March
protestors
gathered
from New
York,
Boston,
Detroit,
Chicago,
Denver
and
London,
to
Sydney
and
Berlin,
raising
their
voices
in
solidarity
on an
intersection
of
issues:
protecting
women’s
reproductive
rights,
people
with
disabilities,
climate
change,
immigration
and
voting
rights.
1,500
participants attend the Women's March in Grosse Pointe and Detroit
which stretched along Kercheval Ave. on the city's eastside
Saturday, Jan. 21, 2017 on the first full day of Donald Trump's
presidency. Millions amassed around the world for the Women's March.

In
Washington
Gloria
Steinem
offered
a lesson
from the
U.S.
Constitution
Mr.
Trump,
she said
the
bedrock
document
of
democracy
does not
begin
with “I”
but with
“We the
people”.
Not
since
the
protests
of the
1960’s
against
the
Vietnam
War and
the
marches
for
civil
rights,
have
such
diverse
crowds
gathered
in
unison
to send
a
message
to an
occupant
of the
White
House.
Doubting
the
reality
of the
massive
protests
worldwide
and
their
unified
message
to
protect
health,
safety
and
equality
will be
Trump’s
undoing
if it is
not
heeded
or
diminished
by
blasting
the
media
for
making
claims
of
inaccurate
reporting.
The
track
record
of the
media is
that of
acknowledging
errors
and
making
corrections.
Mr.
President
can you
make the
same
claim?
