March On Virginia organizers are planning a women’s march in DC this weekend to commemorate the anniversary of the Women’s March 2017. Though this follow up march expects a fraction of last year’s turnout, some local businesses are offering events in support of this weekend’s efforts, including a sign-making happy hour at Slipstream, free admission to the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and free cupcakes outside the Partisan.
