Liza Donnelly, Cartoonist/writer for New Yorker, CBS News, CBS This Morning, Author, performer, TED speaker, global traveler  is looking to change the world with humor. It was freezing during the 2018 Women's March, her hand wouldn’t really function until it warmed in a café.
Signs were everywhere, and she tried to chose the ones to make drawings of  that were more positive in nature. As she saw it, the march was about a variety of concerns: extreme disagreement with President Trump, hope and desire for women’s and girls’ rights, a call to get out the vote and a call to elect more women to public office. One woman just stood in the middle of the street and held her sign for a long time. Another group of young women expressed their strong feelings, chanting and holding their signs about the importance of diversity in the women’s movement. A father had brought his two sons, and they posed for her. She had not seen any boys of any age, so she thanked these two for being there.
The women's march attracted hundred of thousands of participants in hundreds of towns in the United States with sister rallies in Canada and other countries.
