Seeing as over 2.5 million people worldwide showed up on Saturday 21st January 2017 to march in solidarity for women’s rights, it was definitely worth a second blog post to show the magnitude of celebrities who were involved and how far across America (and the world) their support stretched. Even if you weren’t there, you can’t have failed to pick up on this important message, which was spreading across the globe at a rapid pace thanks to all of the high profile supporters:
1. Cher
It’s definitely not the first time Cher has shown her solidarity for the people (when it comes to standing up against Donald Trump anyway), having taken part in the New York March when news first broke of his victory in the election.

However, they both made the effort to show, with John being all the way in Park City at the Planned Parenthood rally and Chrissy Teigen at the main march in Washington.
