This Saturday, women and supporters across the nation will unite to march in solidarity with the Women's March on Washington. In Minnesota, thousands will gather at the St. Paul College and march to the Minnesota State Capitol.

The mission of the march is to "stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families -- recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country."

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what feminist anthems do you want to hear?
