The recent Women's March drew crowds by the hundreds of thousands across the country in protest on behalf of women's rights following the inauguration of Donald Trump.

According to the group that organized the march, 1 in every 100 Americans participated, proving that superheroes don't always wear capes but they do wear pink hats!

Though the march was considered a success, the protests are far from over and now the team is planning an all-out strike.

The Women's March organization recently announced a "General Strike: A Day Without A Woman" on their social media with a caption that read, "the will of the people will stand."

Though no further details have been released, it seems pretty self explanatory.

According to the United States Department of Labor, 57% of women work and yet the gender earnings gap is twenty one and a half percent.

The women's strike will no doubt be highly publicized, but it won't be the first big strike under Trump's presidency.

New York Taxi Workers Alliance drivers went on an hour long strike at JFK to protest Trump's recent immigration ban.

Controversially, Uber continued its transportation services and cut surge pricing during this time. According to Yahoo Finance, the move caused 200,000 users to boycott and delete their uber apps.
