Done deal.

Scheduled Lyft ride to my daughters house and then to Pershing Square. No car or stress needed.

Got credit for signing up.

BTW, frustration trying to schedule Uber in advance. They need to work on their app for that!

*Fuck Trump*

Unfortunately, I can't convince her to wear a pussy hat.

As always Shreveport misses out on things like this. Lord knows I tried to find out if anything could be going on but no chance, but I will cheer you all on from afar...Go girls.

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.

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.”

Bully, here are some signs I'm creating. I'm not marching, but I am helping to support a couple groups by making and paying for their signs, and donating some moola for lunch and gas.

Sign #1:
SCIENCE IS NOT
A LIBERAL
CONSPIRACY

Sign #2:
MAKE AMERICA
THINK
AGAIN

Sign #3:
WOMEN'S RIGHTS
=
HUMAN RIGHTS

Sign #4:
MAKE AMERICA
KIND
AGAIN

Think about having someone proofread your signs. I'm having mine proofread.

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.

Actually there is an event in Shreveport:

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.

Thank you very much for finding this out, I will check this out so I wont miss out on the event. I'm not sure how much marching I will do cause I am still hoping around from my knee surgery but I will do as much as I can, will let you know how it works out.

My pleasure.

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!

Is anyone going to the march in Dallas? I will be there with a friend and would love to connect with anyone from here.

Scratch that. Fort Worth is having a march!

We don't want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants! *practicing*

Holy crap on a crazy cracker! Our little Funkytown march that was only organized five days before the march, and had 300+ 'Going' on the Facebook page turned into an estimated 5-9000 marchers on Saturday! It was insane in the best possible way. I was so overwhelmed at one point that I began to cry! LoL I got it together quickly. What an amazing day not only for us in Fort Worth but everywhere. I didn't know how I would get through Friday, it was so depressing even keeping away from all news sources. And then Saturday happened. I am grateful.

Our march/rally was great! Even Hillary came!

'Course I had to share her with the 3 toddlers I was marching with, but that's ok! She even got into a few pics!

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.
