The Women's March on Washington is right around the corner, and is expected to be a truly important, critical moment for women in America.
The slew of celebrities who have shown their support for the March so far is overwhelming, and adds to the mood of the historic moment
Beyoncé is the most recent to offer . In a Facebook post (which has since been removed), the singer said:
"Together with Chime for Change, we raise our voices as mothers, as artists, and as activists. As #GlobalCitizens, we can make our voices heard and turn awareness into meaningful action and positive change."
The official list of march speakers was released in a press release on Wednesday. It includes an array of legendary women who are sure to motivate and inspire crowds this weekend, including Gloria Steinem and transgender activist Janet Mock (as well as documentarian Michael Moore).
