On 21 January 2017, the first day of Donald Trump's presidency, women around the world will unite and march to show that the politics of fear, division and sexism have no place in society.
That day, ELLE will join all genders at the Women's March on London, as part of an international day of action in solidarity, echoing the footsteps of more than 100,000 women across the Atlantic protesting throughout the US' political capital, Washington D.C.
Among them are celebrities from Hollywood to New York who have signed on to join the march and, let's just say it's a pretty impressive list of females.
Those attending the march include:
America Ferrera
Katy Perry
Scarlett Johansson
Chelsea Handler
Zendaya
Amy Schumer
Cher
Uzo Aduba
Patricia Arquette
Tracee Ellis Ross
Debra Messing
Julianne Moore
Hari Nef
Yara Shahidi
Olivia Wilde
Gloria Steinhem.
And that's just to list a few.
Among the outspoken stars is Ugly Betty actress America Ferrera, who has explained the importance of marching with women on the momentous occasion.
According to The Washington Post, America said: 'As artists, women, and most importantly dedicated Americans, it is critical that we stand together in solidarity for the protection, dignity and rights of our communities.'
Meanwwile, Chelsea Handler – who will be hosting a march in Utah during the Sundance Festival – told Entertainment Weekly that the march will show the Trump administration 'that attacks on Planned Parenthood and our fundamental human rights are unacceptable and if we have to re-fight for rights we have already fought for and won, we will do it louder and stronger, with men by our side'.
