Thanks for this. I had tickets to see "Rustin" at the Y last weekend but had a conflict. This reminded me that I still want to see it. I love all the lessons. I see that you did not include the January 2017 Women's March. I feel like it may not have had an immediate impact but so many of the women I know from the last five years of activism were at that March and it inspired them to get involved in some way -- either running for office or joining or founding activist groups. It also got people activated for the marches and rallies and actions to oppose the Muslim ban.

Thanks, Ellen!
Good call. I was there that day, and it was inspiring.
