Jay W. Walker, a member of political action groups Rise & Resist and Gays Against Guns, emphasized that rebranding the march was vital in addressing concerns against the incoming administration's policies. He stated, 'Because right now, with this incoming administration, everyone who is not a rich, straight, cisgender, white Christian male is under threat.' He highlighted the broad spectrum of issues at stake, including reproductive rights and climate action, which galvanized thousands to participate in the People's March.
Walker expressed concerns about the incoming Trump administration from the immediate future, predicting it would align closely with right-wing organizations. He noted, 'The Trump administration will do the bidding of organizations like the Council for National Policy and the Heritage Foundation.' This statement highlighted the participants' worries about potential consequences for marginalized communities and progressive policies under the upcoming presidency.
