The 2018 march was a follow-up to the 2017 Women's March to protest Donald Trump's election. Using the hashtag #PowerToThePolls the peaceful protest focused on the female vote in the 2018 midterm elections, also for a social change, and to demand a Dream Act. "Millions of women did not take to the streets this weekend for Democrats to cave. We expect more from our leaders," tweeted the offical Women's March account.

Tom Taylor, Democrat running in Utah's 4th District, tweeted to his newborn daughter Colette. "You were born on the #WomensMarch2018 when millions declared they will stand up against a president that openly brags about assaulting women. Things are scary now, but we're shaping the future to make the world a better place for you. Welcome to #TheResistance."
Celebrities like Lupita Nyong’o, Eva Longoria, Scarlet Johansson, Viola Davis, Cher, Miley Cyrus, Natalie Portman and many more gave speeches and even called out the names of molesters. "For me, moving forward means my daughter growing up in a world where she doesn't have to be a victim of what has cruelly become the social norm. That she doesn't have to fit into the bindings of the female condition," Johansson told the Los Angeles crowd. "Time's up on the female condition."
"Such an honor to speak today at the @wmnsmarchla! This isn’t just a moment or a march, it’s a movement!" wrote Longoria on Instagram.
While 34-year-old Mexican actress, Lupita Nyong'o, shared a picture with her fist up and the caption: "#BlackPower + #TimesUp + #WomensMarch = 2018."
The 2016 presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, supported the rally by tweeting: "In 2017, the Women’s March was a beacon of hope and defiance. In 2018, it is a testament to the power and resilience of wome n everywhere. Let’s show that same power in the voting booth this year. #PowerToThePolls."
