There is a sign-making event I will be going to on Thursday with friends to get ready for our Saturday rally. If anyone has any good ideas for signs that I can shamelessly steal let me know.

370 ‘Sister Marches’ Planned For Day After Trump’s Inauguration
It’s so much bigger than just the Women’s March on Washington.
by Catherine Pearson Some 194,000 people have indicated on Facebook they plan to attend the Women’s March on Washington, scheduled for Saturday, the day after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. And 1,200 tour buses have applied for permits to park at RFK stadium that day ― six times the number that have applied for spots on the day of Trump’s swearing in. But march spokespeople say it would be a mistake to overlook the 370 smaller “sister marches” that have been planned in every state and on six continents that weekend ― and that are expected at last count to draw nearly 700,000 people. “This is a global movement,” national sister march spokeswoman Yordanos Eyoel told The Huffington Post. “This is something that was catalyzed by the organizers of the March on Washington, but it is a call to action to people across this country and around the world who believe in the same mission and principles,” she said. The Women’s March website is maintaining a running list of the marches being planned, Eyoel said, and is the best resource for people to consult if they are looking for a march near them. With less than a week to go, nearly 700,000 people have registered to attend via Facebook, Eventbrite and Action Network, she said. While the marches have been inspired by the Women’s March on Washington, they are being organized by volunteers at the local level and each will have its own programming. The march in Maui, Hawaii, for example, will begin with a moment of silence and a traditional Hawaiian blessing, a press release explains. The march in Birmingham, Alabama, will begin at the 16th Baptist Church, an icon of the civil rights era that was recently declared a national monument. The biggest marches outside of Washington are planned in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Boston, Denver, San Francisco, Austin and Minneapolis/St. Paul. Internationally, 55 marches have been planned in cities such as Paris, Sydney and Nairobi. The aim, Eyoel said, is not to detract from the March on Washington in any way, but to encourage people everywhere to join in what she took pains to describe as a “non-partisan,” not explicitly “anti-Trump” march. “If you are not able to make it to D.C., I will say that you’re still creating the same kind of change, and you’re making sure your voice is heard,” said Eyoel. “It’s important to do that within the community where you live.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0e58057ff614b

21 JAN 2017: Women's March - Shreveport/Bossier @ Caddo Parish Courthouse - ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 2017, THE SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN WILL GATHER PEACEFULLY IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE WOMEN’S MARCH IN WASHINGTON D.C. The gathering will begin on the north sidewalk of the Caddo Parish Courthouse at 3:00 PM with a reading of the Official Statement of Purpose from the Women’s March in Washington D.C., and will end after participants march around the courthouse as a unified group. The public is invited to attend this peaceful vigil. Signs are welcome, but sound amplification objects like megaphones and microphones are forbidden by law. This will be a family-friendly, community-inclusive gathering.

I bet that by both of us going to our respective places, to at least be there, we will feel better. I am not sure how much marching or for what distance, I will be doing but I did not just have knee surgery either!

Good signs Orema!
Thanks for posting them. I particularly like #1. I am also going to ask my 12- year-old granddaughter what signs she and her friends are making. She is 12 going on 25 in terms of brain power, wit, feminist identification and insight. Any good ones she comes up, I will post, too. Bully, thank you for starting this thread. Everyone that is going or participating in any way and posted about it here; inspired me to do something concrete. It does feel better to make our voices heard.

Thank you so much Orema! All of your signs are great!
Make America Think Again - love that one so much. And kind again too of course. I think one of my friends is going with: Trump Is The Swamp. Love it! Thank you for all the work you are doing to support the events. Anya, I can't wait to hear what your granddaughter comes up with! It warms my heart so much to hear of 12 year old girls being politically active. They are our present and our future.

I just found a rally scheduled in Hemet, Ca! Hemet is much closer to my home, meaning I won't have to drive the freeways to Riverside or San Diego.
Whoop! 9:30 at the Democratic headquarters on Florida ave. |

I will actually be in Mexico that day but there will be a march we can go to in Piedras Negras!
On the way to finding that out, though, I also discovered there will be a march in MARFA, TX Marfa is a whole day away from where we will be but could you imagine the Marfa march????

I found out that there is a gathering in Santa Ana, Orange County.
It is closer to me but I really want to share this with my daughter and granddaughter. My favorite car, my VW 1974 Super Beetle, had a bumper sticker across the back of the car and said: *Sisterhood is Powerful* It is just as true today as it was then.
