Women's March on Washington and Sister Events Nationwide

I'm back from Seneca Falls. We had about 30 of us from work meeting in the dark at 5 am to head out this morning. It was phenomenal. They were not expecting the crowd they got at all but it was managed quickly. I guess they were expecting 500 which blows my mind. Last press count was 10,000. We walked almost 2 miles to get to the rally site and then were on sidewalks because a street permit hadn't been attained? But either we just took the streets or we got a permit, I'm not sure sure, but we took over the whole village. The speakers were strong and empowering, the crowd was full of love and intention. I'm so glad I was able to be there.
