An organic, grassroots effort, the Women’s March On Washington may be the largest mass movement yet that America has seen in response to any presidential inauguration — about 60,000 people protested Richard Nixon’s 1973 inauguration at the height of the Vietnam War while thousands protested George W. Bush’s 2001 inauguration. More than 100,000 women and men have committed to attending!
Message from ODP Chairman David Pepper:
Despite a tough night, 2016 did accomplish our critical goal of constructing a large party infrastructure—with thousands of new activists and volunteers, along with passionate staff– that can fuel all of our collective efforts in ’17, ’18 and beyond.
If the last 10 years in Ohio tell us anything, it’s that Democrats win when we show up. It’s critical that we stand together NOW and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. KNOW your judicial candidates and VOTE for ALL Democrats!
“I move that the convention suspend the procedural rules. I move that all votes, all votes cast by delegates, be reflected in the official record, and I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for president of the United States,” Senator Bernie Sanders said. Clinton becomes the first woman to be nominated for president by a major political party.
