The Women’s March on Washington has been gaining inspiring momentum even before one step has been taken on the streets. (If you’re not able to attend, no worries! There are still ways you can be involved.) For those who are lucky enough to be there in person, you’ll be hearing from some incredibly inspirational women, including a few super popular celebs.
