The reality is that it's just hard to capture lightning in a bottle," said Tamika Middleton, managing director at the Women's March. "It was a really particular moment. In 2017, we had not seen a Trump presidency and the kind of vitriol that that represented."
This year, the march is expected to be about one-tenth the size of the first one and comes amid a restrained moment of reflection as many progressive voters navigate feelings of exhaustion, disappointment and despair after Vice President Kamala Harris' loss.
The movement fractured after that hugely successful day of protests over accusations that it was not diverse enough. This year's rebrand as a People's March is the result of an overhaul intended to broaden the group's appeal.
