Princesses CAN Participate in the Pussyhat Project
It is 2017.
The Great United States is almost 250 years old,
250 years of experience and struggles
Yet men and women are still not equal
The princesses have had enough
They inspired girls for years
Only to have them go into the world to be…
Paid less and treaty poorly
The princesses know this is not right
Now is the time to unite to make change
Change that could empower women for another 250 years
All the princesses must come together
Ariel comes to be part of this world for a day
Mulan takes a break from saving China
Cinderella forgets about the ball
Snow White brings her seven dwarves
Belle lifts her nose out of a book
Jasmine rides her magic carpet in
Even the newer princesses are in for the cause
Tiana leaves someone in charge of her beloved restaurant
Moana braves the water’s edge
Merida slings her best bow over her shoulder
They are all going to Washington, D.C. to March on

A day to go down in history
They cap their heads with the symbolic pink hat
A simple hat with cat ears that unites the women’s marchers
Arms linked and differences forgotten
The princesses step on to the street
Walking to the beat of equality
Nothing can stop them
Yet at the end of the day
They tearfully say goodbye to go home
Because after all, without princess stories,
who will inspire young girls for generations to come
Theses princesses can prove again and again that they are not
a damsel in distress
