Women"s March 2.0
b'Activists are returning to the streets a year after a million people rallied worldwide at marches for female empowerment, hoping to create an enduring political movement that will elect more women to government office.ast year, for example, an estimated 175,000 people descended on Boston Common. This year, Massachusetts organizers coordinated 16 separate events across the state, from panel discussions and film screenings to activism training in places ranging from the university city of Cambridge to the fishing hub of New Bedford."We weren\'t going to be satisfied by repeating merely what we did on Boston Common last year," said Karen Cosmas, one of the coordinators. "It\'s time to show that what we\'ve done has evolved over the past year into something more action-oriented.""Last year, we marched. This year, we\'re putting our numbers to action," said Emma Collum, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., lawyer who is an organizer of "Power to the Polls," an event scheduled for Sunday in Las Vegas. It is meant to kick off a national voter-registration tour of swing states , organizers say. WSJ'
