WASHINGTON, D.C. — Several generations of New Jersey women — with more than a dozen buses from South Orange and Maplewood — participated in the Women’s March on Saturday, Jan. 21, in unity to stand for equal rights for all in protest of the previous day’s inauguration of President Donald Trump. With more than 500,000 attendees in Washington, D.C., the march also spurred affiliated marches in approximately 300 cities on six continents.
