March for Women's Lives (2004)

[4] The Women's March was notable for its inclusivity and diversity, with participants from all walks of life, ages, races, genders, and sexual orientations coming together to advocate for progressive causes.

While the Women's March was criticized by some for its lack of a clear agenda or policy platform, its organizers argued that its primary goal was to show support for the rights and dignity of all people, regardless of their background or identity.

Celebrities who appeared at the march included Peter, Paul, and Mary, Indigo Girls, Judy Gorman, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Ashley Judd, Kathleen Turner, Ted Turner, Ana Gasteyer, Janeane Garofalo, Bonnie Franklin, Julianne Moore, and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; also appearing were veteran abortion rights leaders, such as Kate Michelman of NARAL Pro-Choice America and Gloria Steinem, and many members of Congress.

[6] The march was led by seven organizing groups: National Organization for Women (NOW), American Civil Liberties Union, Black Women's Health Imperative, Feminist Majority Foundation, NARAL Pro Choice America, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Sixteen protesters from the Christian Defense Coalition were arrested for demonstrating without a permit when they crossed police barricades into the area designated for the March.
