A number of advertising agencies were supporting and organizing efforts around the global marches for women’s rights on Saturday, including several that are paying for transportation down to Washington, D.C., reports Ad Age.

The Ad Age item, which appeared before the march, in part, added:

“The grassroots event, which started as the Women’s March on Washington, has vastly expanded, with more than 600 marches expected to take place worldwide one day after Donald Trump’s inauguration as president of the United States, according to the Women’s March website. Marches are scheduled in cities across all 50 states and dozens of countries including Mexico, Canada, India, Iraq, Spain, Japan and the U.K.

“Interpublic Group shop Huge is busing 50 staffers, men and women, to D.C. from New York on Friday ahead of the march, while also covering expenses for meals, Metro transportation and poster-making materials. Most of the team plans to sleep at Huge’s D.C. office, but a few will bunk with colleagues in the city.

“”Among other agencies also participating, Publicis New York CEO Carla Serrano is taking two buses of employees to the march on Sautrday. Badger & Winters is organizing march groups Saturday in New York and Washington under the banner of its #womennotobjects campaign. And Work & Co is sending two buses to D.C. from New York.

“New York City-based Chandelier Creative is sending four employees from different departments — writing, social media, film and design — to participate in the D.C. march and represent the agency’s values. The team also plans to talk with people from all over the country during the march and share their stories and concerns.

“Laundry Service has a number of people going to marches in various cities and is allowing them to take over the agency’s social channels throughout the event, said Jason Stein, CEO and founder of the agency.”

(Close to home, iStrategy Labs, which has offices in D.C. and NYC, had about a dozen family members of employees sleep in the agency’s open office area, mini conference rooms and the agency’s nap pod.)
