Her message and endorsement of the Women’s March come in spite of the fact that her name was left off the March’s Guiding Vision and Definition of Principles‘ list of revolutionary women.
Many of her supporters were upset by the fact that the trailblazing woman who broke glass ceilings, including becoming the first woman to secure a major party’s nomination for president, wasn’t included in the list. A Change.org petition quickly started circulating, demanding that her name be added. The petition argued that “As activists and allies, we are dismayed that March organizers excluded Hillary Rodham Clinton as an honoree who has inspired women around the world to serve and to lead.”
