A year ago, on the day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, millions of people flooded the streets in protest. The Women’s March, which took place in dozens of cities and towns across the country, is believed to have been the largest single-day demonstration in US history. Many of those who carried signs and wore iconic (and controversial) pussy hats that day pledged to spend the next four years fighting against Trump and getting more involved in politics. And to a remarkable degree, the momentum that was so visible in the marches hasn’t disappeared, as massive numbers of women lobby Congress, donate to candidates, and run for office. Here are some of the eye-popping numbers:
