America Ferrera was one of the speakers at the march in Washington D.C.
Her husband Ryan Piers William was with her.
“It’s been a heartrending time to be both a woman and an immigrant in this country,” she said. “Our dignity, our character, our rights have all been under attack, and a platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday.”
“But the President is not America,” she added. “His cabinet is not America. Congress is not America. We are America. And we are here to stay.”

Edgar Ramírez is fighting for his niece.
"I want to work for a world in which my little niece has the same opportunities and the same rights as her male siblings. A world in which she can make her own decisions, in which she owns her life, her body and her sexuality. A world in which she will not, and NEVER will allow herself, to be abused physically or emotionally. A world in which all girls have the right to the education she receives today. A world when she grows up not having to apologize for her success, and in which economic compensation is determined according to her abilities and personal efforts and not according to her gender. A world in which she grows up without fear to give her opinion, without fear of suspicion, without fear of loneliness; a world where she does not feel that without a man or without children, her life is not complete. A world in which – in the words of Lucy Arellano – she “deserves, values and enjoys any care or show of affection from her partner but without needing it, nor requiring it, nor depending on it for her emotional well-being". I want her to grow up aware of the oppression and the ravages of the macho mandate and rebel against it by helping other girls to be empowered #womensmarch #equality," wrote the Venezuelan actor.
Adorable Sophie Cruz was one of the highlights of the D.C. march.
We first met her when she managed to give a letter to Pope Francis during his visit to the U.S in September of 2015. At 6 years-old she is now an activist for immigrant children's rights.
“We are here together making a chain of love to protect our families. Let us fight with love, faith and courage so that our families will not be destroyed,” she said during her speech. “I also want to tell the children not to be afraid, because we are not alone. There are still many people that have their hearts filled with love… let’s keep together and fight for the rights. God is with us.”
