ACROSS THE COUNTRY KNITTERS
ARE MAKING AND DONATING HATS
FOR PEOPLE TO WEAR AT THIS
WEEKEND'S WOMEN'S MARCH ON
WASHINGTON.
AS CHRIS MARTINEZ SHOWS US,
THE PINK CAPS CARRY A SERIOUS
MESSAGE.
Reporter: AT THIS SMALL
KNITTING SHOP IN LOS ANGELES, A
MOVEMENT IS GROWING.
THANKS TO THESE BRIGHT PINK
HATS WITH A PROVOCATIVE NAME.
THE NAME REFERS TO THE HAT'S
CAT-LIKE LOOK.
ONCE YOU PUT IT ON SOMEONE'S
HEAD THE EARS COME OUT.
Reporter: IT'S ALSO MEANT TO
BRING AWARENESS TO WOMEN'S
RIGHTS ISSUES.
THE HAT'S CREATORS POINT TO THE
INFAMOUS ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE
WHERE PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP
BRAGGED ABOUT GRABBING WOMEN.
WHEN YOU'RE A STAR THEY LET
YOU DO IT.
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
GRAB THEM BY THE [ BLEEP ].
FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS
SUPPORTERS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE
THAT WORD BACK AND REALLY TAKE
THAT WORD AS SOMETHING THAT
ISN'T LINKED WITH WITH SHAME IS
AN IMPORTANT THING.
THAT MESSAGE IS RESINATING
WITH WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
PUT BEADS ON SOME AND
SPARKLES ON SOME.
ELLIE RICE HAS BEEN KNITTING
NONSTOP TO SHOW HER SUPPORT.
I'M HOPING THERE ARE ENOUGH
THAT PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN
THE MARCH HAS ONE.
AND IT'S A NICE FEELING TO KNOW
I'VE CONTRIBUTED.
HER HATS HELP MAKE UP THE
ESTIMATED 70,000 DONATED SO
FAR.
THE PROJECT IS GETTING
BIGGER AND BIGGER.
Reporter: SYMBOL OF UNITY
BRINGING WOMEN TOGETHER ONE
PINK STITCH AT A TIME.
LOCAL ORGANIZERS SAY EIGHT
BUSES FROM MINNESOTA WILL MAKE
THE TRIP TO WASHINGTON.
THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WILL MARCH
HERE IN ST. PAUL.
THEY'LL GATHER AT 10:00 ON
SATURDAY MORNING.
AT 11:00 THEY'LL WALK TO THE
CAPITOL.
