Hillary Clinton has her eye on the Twitter trolls, and she came with a message for them at the 29th annual Gloria Awards at Capitale in New York City on Wednesday. Just as she did at Planned Parenthood’s 100th Anniversary Gala on Tuesday, Clinton, this year's Gloria Awards Women of Vision honoree, told the crowd that she was out of the woods and ready to fight.

“I just want all these Twitter trolls out there to know that maybe if you had left us alone, we might have gone out longer in the woods for our walks, but every time you hit those 140 characters demeaning women’s voices and rights, we’re comin’ back at you,” she said.

Clinton’s sentiment reflected the underlying theme of the annual awards dinner Wednesday night, “We Won’t Go Back,” as activists and celebrities gathered to support the Ms. Foundation for Women. Gloria Steinem, along with her other “co-founding mothers” and Ms. Foundation president Teresa C. Younger, honored nine women whose trailblazing work has had an impact on a country on the cusp of an uncertain future.

Twitter was was another unofficial theme of the night. In her remarks introducing Clinton, Steinem said that “women, especially, are warning Donald Trump that the past tense of Twitter is ‘twat.’ ”

On that same note, actress Kathleen Turner told Vanity Fair on the red carpet that she has one wish for our Tweeter-in-Chief. “I really wish that President Trump would speak better English,” she said. “I think that would be so nice.”

Turner, who was joined in the crowd by other boldfaced names including Chelsea Handler, Martha Plimpton, Ann Curry, Kathy Najimy, and more, said any activist in this topsy-turvy political climate should choose a handful of causes to support. Her personal trifecta includes Meals on Wheels, People for the American Way, and Planned Parenthood.

“Pick your three and show up,” she said.

Following a live auction hosted by Younger and comedian Judy Gold at the end of the night, the organizers of the Women’s March received the Marie C. Wilson Emerging Leaders Award. March organizer Linda Sarsour left attendees with one final call to action, before leading a rousing chant of “resist” throughout the dining room.

“Our greatest hope is that women will create a groundswell of political participation and will work to get us free together . . . And yes, we will not go back.”

At the after-party, Steinem told Vanity Fair that while the next four years have her doubtful, she remains hopeful, too. “If we survive, which is a big ‘if’, we will be so much more activist and organized and connected with each other.” The Trump resistance, she said, is encouragement alone: “This is a thousand times bigger than anything I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.”
