But just think of all of that positive energy rocking this earthly planet of ours as woman, joined by people of all genders from all around the world participated in whatever capacity they were able. Regardless of the exact number of marches, it was amazing!

We would never send you or anyone to the gallows!!
The total number changed almost hourly as they tried to get their arms around exactly how many people participated!
How about massive numbers?! I also like the 2.5 million people participated figures!
It sparks hope within me and I needed it badly.

And she is pissed!
