Here is a list if you would like to attend an event in your local area:

I am planning to attend the rally in Albuquerque, NM with friends. I am fired up! I would love to hear if anyone is planning to attend one and what your experiences are after you attend if you would like to share.

Here is the mission statement for the one in Albuquerque:

Join us as we gather on January 21 at Civic Plaza for the Women's March on Washington in Albuquerque Rally. This is an inclusive event, open to ANYONE who supports women's rights. Mission Statement: The rally is to show solidarity across the nation and at home for the DC March, which highlights that women's rights are human rights. The mission of the rally is foremost to join the many unique cultural groups across New Mexico in an inclusive dialogue and to become more educated about how we can take positive and peaceful action to exercise our constitutional rights. It's an act to uplift our spirits, to broaden awareness, and proclaim "we will protect each other's civil rights, our communities, our families and our planet."

This is awesome idea! I am going to check and see if they have a rally where I live too. I would love to attend the Wash D.C event but it's probably going to be very expensive

I will be in D.C. on the 21st. I booked a room a few miles away because when I first looked in October, all rooms in D.C. were in the high hundreds and thousands. I was lucky to find what I did. I am going down with a few friends the night before. There are a lot of commercial buses leaving from all areas of my state that morning, and seats are hard to come by. I am very excited about going.

I am currently trying to find someone who is selling vagina hats.

I saw a post by someone on Facebook Pantsuit Nation, or A.M.Jo

Pink knitted cap with ears, was cute, but not a sale site.

I am going to a march and rally in my state. D.C. isn't doable for me.

Wow, it's exciting to hear about everyone's plans. I hope everyone comes back and reports on their experiences along with any news leading up to the events.

Yeah, we need those pussy hats. I think I would look real good in one, ha ha.

I'll be reporting on my experience. The lineup of speakers looks really good, and I'm very interested in hearing about ideas for taking effective political action and learning more about what is going on around my state.

Thanks everyone, it feels good to know people will be attending all over the country. We need to stay strong and take effective political action!

We're planning a caravan from work going to the Seneca Falls sister gathering.
