There is a march in Indy but I sprain my ankle going down the basement stairs so it's a no go however, I am thinking of running for office here, but I don't know if I can. I have to see what is available and if I am eligible to run.

Our march/rally was great! Even Hillary came!

Here in the windy city, the march was cancelled due to an overabundance of enthusiastic protesters!
The CTA, Metra all booked. Uber , Lyft unable to keep up. trumplethinskin already tweeted about CNN reporting more folks in DC than were at the inauguration yesterday. He, of course is stating they are ALL LIARS and FAKE NEWS! What a fuggin' baby. I suppose MSNBC and the AP are all wrong. Photos don't lie. Chicago 10:30 D.C. 59 minutes ago.

Just curious...
Is Michael Moore always that pumped up? It felt like Ashley Judd jumped in for a reason. I loved America Ferraro 's (sp?) speech. She has a great presence and energy. She should consider politics. That's one thing that rang true from Moore's speech. We need more individuals in office that come from a non political background. We need to be the change we want to see in the world and in our country. I'm going to ponder on that.

Maybe the organizers thought he was wandering, repeating himself, narcissistically going on about himself , chewing the scenery, forgetting it was a Women's March, and monopolizing the mic.

I did not wind up going to LA but we had a local one in Santa Ana, picture above. I don't know final number count but I read there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 people. Reminded me of the "old days" of the women's movement. Feels like a new day now. Daughter/GD did go to LA. Still there, said it is just unbelievably awesome.

We're back from the march/rally. We met at the Unitarian Society to watch the live streaming of the women's march in D.C. I cried a lot, I was having some kind of major catharsis. We didn't actually march because my sweetheart's back was bothering her, but we watched everyone march into the rally site and stayed for some of the rally. There a LOT of people and lots of great signs, it was really moving. But then I started getting anxiety in the crowd so we broke for lunch. I'm really glad I went though.

I had an awesome time at the rally in Albuquerque today! The energy of the crowd was so positive and determined. People of all genders, races and ages were there. Dogs too. One dog had a pussy hat, hah!
I didn't get to the sign making event, but someone at the rally gave me a sign - message on each side. One side: "He is the Swamp" and the other "We Will Not Be Silent." One of my friends had "I Can't Believe I Still Have To Protest This Shit." Everyone wanted a pic of it. I loved the guy pushing a stroller with his "Feminist Dad" sign. Just a great crowd. We had lots of great speakers, poetry and music. One key thing that was said was that feminism that is not intersectional and inclusive is just white supremacy. I agree. And also that women's rights are human rights and civil rights. It is about all of us working together. And about women not being defined by social norms or anyone else and that we all are valuable and can think for ourselves. My friend and I decided we want to work on getting our Republican governor out when her term is up. It was a very peaceful gathering and lots of positive energy and people determined to continue to fight for our rights. I'm so glad I went.

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.

Fantastic signs!
Warms my heart. So much for Trumps 307 electoral votes.

I'm getting really tired of seeing Michael Moore's face every time CNN wants to interview someone about the Women's March. Sometimes it's good to just step aside, Michael.
