Women all over the world today are sharing pictures of the shoes they'll wear to the Women's March, which is set to take place on January 21 across all 50 states and in approximately 60 countries throughout the world.
Along with the powerful pics of their "#MarchingShoes," women are including their reasons for taking part in the historic event.
Some are doing it for their daughters.
Sparkly ones for my 8 yr old marching companion. #marchingshoes pic.twitter.com/wVuVOqwSZXJanuary 16, 2017
Including the ones that are not yet born.

For resistance.
