Uh oh …
Hillary Rodham Clinton was the first woman to win the popular vote in a US election. #AddHerName
Add her god damn fucking name.

The Women’s March on Washington isn’t until Saturday, but it’s already provided plenty of amusement to spectators. There were complaints that the march leadership lacked racial diversity, as initial organizers of the march were predominantly white. Then there was the shock of finding out that pro-life feminists had planned to attend — an idea that organizers shut down very quickly.
Men were criticized as well for not signing up in huge numbers, while some blamed poor branding for giving the impression the Women’s March was a women’s march.
There’s not much time left to finish up those pink pussyhats and get to the National Mall, but there’s another problem: Hillary Clinton isn’t named as an honoree of the march, and there’s already a petition to correct that oversight, along with a hashtag, #AddHerName.

But organizers said this wasn’t an anti-Trump … yeah, let’s not even pretend, OK?
@NoNo2GOP Her name should have been at the top of the list! Who made up the list?

Umm excuse me Women's March organizers – you've done a dumb thing. Just fix it quick. #AddHerName

Yes they have done a dumb thing! They had better fix this before Saturday or they may lose participants!

I can't believe I even need to say this about arguably the most qualified person to ever run for president- #AddHerName

Goddamit as if tomorrow isn't enough to be enraged about #Addhername! HRC is why there IS a march and anything less is petty and shameful

.@womensmarch To Do list
– Pink hat? Check.

I hoped the @womensmarch would be a symbol of solidarity but this petty decision to leave HRC of honoree list is the opposite #AddHerName

You use her quote but erase her name? That's some patriarchal bullshit @womensmarch. Fix it. #AddHerName
