It’s only natural that the organizers of the Women’s March would like the keep the momentum going after the shock of Donald Trump’s election compelled women and men in knit pussy hats to converge on Washington in January. So they’re putting on something called the Women’s Convention in Detroit this fall, and this just so happens to be #WomensConventionWednesday.
Today is #WomensConventionWednesday. Who are the women that inspire you to take action?
(We'll be retweeting your responses all day!)

To mark the occasion, the Women’s March asked followers on social media to name some of the women who inspire them, with the promise to retweet responses throughout the day.
I gave you mine but they haven't been retweeted yet. https://t.co/8BAjpqkK56

Hmm … that’s strange. Are there women that the Women’s March wouldn’t want to recognize or celebrate on this #WomensConventionWednesday?
Hillary Clinton inspired me to vote for someone I'd have never voted for otherwise. https://t.co/8BAjpqkK56

It’s funny: Hillary Clinton is getting a ton of shout-outs, although the far-left Women’s March wasn’t about to be prodded into adding her to its list of honorees in January.
Linda Sarsour. She inspires me to oppose both Islamism and the hot mess feminism has become in one fell swoop! https://t.co/hvbaxFsNR8

Somehow we don’t see Gal Gadot getting a retweet for serving in the IDF if Linda Sarsour is in charge of hitting the button … but we’re on board.

A member of my church, who despite single status, gave birth and life to a healthy baby girl instead of choosing murder. #ProLife

Still no RTs from the Women's March yet. I gave em like a million examples of inspirational women.

I guess they're not pro baby murder enough.

This might be the hairiest and the scariest photo we stumbled across in our search; keep those eclipse glasses handy.
