Celebrities Who Participated In The Women’s March

Carrie Fisher Was There In Spirit Too

With the all-too-recent and too soon loss of Carrie Fisher, it was still evident that both celebrities and fans could feel her presence at the Women’s March, both in Washington DC and elsewhere around the world. Mark Hamill captured a few of the photos and the sentiment. He’s right too. She would have been there, among the crowds, resisting.

One of the many signs and posters said: “Women Belong In The Resistance.” As an interesting side note, Hayley Gilmore was the designer of those Princess-Leia/Carrie-Fisher/Resistance posters, and she reportedly didn’t receive any compensation for her designs. You’ve just kinda gotta agree with what Angela Watercutter writes for Wired: “As a feminist icon, Fisher—who never tired of pointing out that Leia slain Jabba while wearing that damned bikini—would have been proud to see so many women making Leia such a powerful symbol.”
