Planning
The organizers for the national event included Jordan Uhl, Megan Mamula, Jimmy Dahman, Andrea Chalupa, and Justin Hendrix.[2][3][4][5] The event started as a small protest planned for Washington, D.C., but grew into a nationwide protest.[5] In Iowa and in other states, local Women's March organizers helped support the planning for the March for Truth.[6] Other groups, such as Indivisible and Public Citizen, were also involved with support for the marches and rallies.[3]
