This years women's March is on 19th January. The original women's March started as a reaction to Donald Trump's inauguration. This years theme is bread and roses, taken from the 1912 rally and the phrase coined by American suffragette Rose Schneider:

'The worker must have bread but she must have roses, too.'

The speech was inspired by James Oppenheim poem, bread and roses:

As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day,

A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,

Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,

For the people hear us singing: “Bread and roses! Bread and roses!”


As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men,

For they are women’s children, and we mother them again.

Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;

Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses!



As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead

Go crying through our singing their ancient song of bread.

Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.

Yes, it is bread we fight for — but we fight for roses, too!



As we come marching, marching, we bring the greater days.

The rising of the women means the rising of the race.

No more the drudge and idler — ten that toil where one reposes,

But a sharing of life’s glories: Bread and roses! Bread and roses
