The organizers of the Women's March, which drew hundreds of thousands to Washington D.C. following President Donald Trump's inauguration, have a new day of action planned: "A Day Without a Woman."
The official Twitter account for the Women's March tweeted an announcement that the "general strike" would be held on March 8.
"In the spirit of women and their allies coming together for love and liberation, we offer A Day Without A Woman. #WomensMarch," the tweet says.
Historically, March 8 has been recognized as International Women's Day.
In a series of tweets following the announcement, the official account sent out questions such as, "Do businesses strive for gender equity or do they support the policies and leaders that perpetuate oppression?"
This isn't the first movement that aims to show Americans what a day without a large number of its population would be like.
