20 Ocak 2017 tarihinde, Başkan Donald Trump göreve başladıktan hemen sonra, Washington DC ve diğer iller gün boyunca süren geniş kapsamlı gösterilere sahne oldu. Trump’ın kullandığı cinsiyetçi dil ve kadın sağlığı konusundaki görüşleri zaten endişeyle izleniyordu. Çeşitli zorluklarla kazanılmış olan kadın hakları alanında geriye dönülebileceği endişesiyle, çeşitli kadın grupları her yıl tekrarlanan Kadın Yürüyüşleri düzenlendi. Bu protestolar sırasında 1970’lerde Eşit Haklar Yasası lehine yapılan gösterilere benzeyen ama daha yaratıcı olan stratejiler kullanıldı. Göstericiler birlikteliklerini vurgulamak için el işi pembe “kedi” şapkaları giydiler, eleştirel bakış açısıyla şarkılar bestelediler, şarkı sözlerini çevrimiçi öğrenerek bilinen diğer protesto şarkılarıyla birlikte söylediler ve güncel kaygılarına gönderme yapan yaratıcı pankartlar taşıdılar. İlerleyen yıllarda bu gösteriler diğer ulusal ve uluslararası sorunları kapsayarak genişletildi. Kadına karşı şiddet, kadın sağlığı, ırksal adalet, göçmenlerin durumu, LBGTQIA+, engelli ve işçi hakları, vatandaşlık hakları ve çevreyi koruma konusunda gereken yasaları içeren bir Kadın Ajandası hazırlandı. Böylece, Trump döneminde kadın grupları, 1970’lerdeki mücadelelerinin izinde ve güdümünde, karar verme ve yasal düzenlemelerin oluşturulması süreçlerinde etkili olmak için yaratıcı stratejiler kullandılar.
