I can't believe anyone would presume to tell us it's not time to march. Oh wait--I can believe it. We're just women, and we ought to let our men worry about politics.

We're taking to the streets, running for office, and making noise, and NOBODY can stop us!

Everything I have read...all that I have seen? We are out there an running as fast as we can since November 9th.

Damn straight we are making noise. OUR voices will be heard.

There were detractors this year as well and I remember asking them to please shut the fugg up.

One can march and run. One doesn't prevent the other.

I will be there again in 2018.

Thanks Solly!

We should continue to march and let them know we will never be silenced. Kick/rec.

There was a saying during World War II: "To win a war takes millions$. To lose one takes everything you've got." We ARE in a war, and to lose it will LITERALLY take EVERYTHING we've got.

STAND UP!
SPEAK OUT!
RESIST!

Exactly this.

RESIST

post where we can contribute?

that I posted yesterday when I got news of the March via gmail. There isn't a place to donate in the article but they have Facebook, Twitter, etc listed and there may be more info there. I am not sure since I am limited with my contacts since I do not do social media.

Thank you for the link.

It’s a clean fury. Unsullied. I embrace it. Second I’ll march whenever and wherever I can when women organize for justice.

Third, I’m done given the any credit to people who have little apparent knowledge of required processes, or are opportunistic, or don’t have a fucking clue about government, yet want to tell others what to do and how to think.

It's like a man telling a woman to speak when spoken to and otherwise just stay silent. Fugg that.

They really are our only hope

I believe that you are right, Drah.

radar after the march but I could see in in my community. We were creating groups to elect women and meeting with our representatives. Since Virginia women are starting to be seen above the radar!

That is a fact, rainy, thank you. We seem to be invisible to some...sad that. However we are out there and growing in number...we WILL be heard.

BOOM 2018 and 2020.

Mrs GoS will be marching in either Aix or Marseille on that day, and I'll be with her.

I will be in Cambridge MA.

PERSIST RESIST

to try and shame him into not voting for the 'Piss On Your Head and Call It Growth' tax bill.
We're leaving for France on 9 Jan but will keep pressuring these weasels.

Back in February.

Sadly by February you may not want to return.

We bought an apartment in Aix-en-Provence in July. And if we could figure out a way to stay in France, we would.
Perhaps the PowerBall will hit tonight.

And then we definitely would not be coming back.

we will be walking. Maybe I'll see you there!

Hoping I can go this year.

Bad fall the day before. My friend and I stood and or walked for over six hours. Took us an hour to make it out of the Common in Boston where the meet started and then onto the march. HUGE crowd.

People were great. True spirit. Make it if you can, cwydro.

A pussy grabber president, a plantation economics political party in absolute power, a Presidential election stolen from a women
(by an international cabal of Fascist rich men) in plain sight... if Not Now, When?

My family will be there.

Recommended.

Now is not the time to march. Now is not the time to discuss gun control.

Hah!

This tax bill is a part of Bannon's dismantling of the US government and all our institutions. All of the shit in that bill may pass but it should pass without a show of force that will equate to the "donor's" threats of withholding their money. Fuck their money!
We can overturn Citizens United by voting the rat-bastards out of office no matter how much funding they get.

We can keep our money in our pockets this holiday and use it to fund our candidates.

I am losing it here. My hip is hurting but I am ready to move out to march with my cane in hand or walker if need be.
May the GOP, including McCain, Flake, and Collins rot in their own private hell.

If you were marching in my town I would gladly walk with you and help you along.

Women Unite. PERSIST. RESIST.

Jam 21 sounds good!

It’s kind of scary how it mirrors last year,” she say, describing how momentum picked up right around this time in 2016. “I’m getting calls from friends in Florida,” says Siemionko, People want to know if marches are happening in their cities and if not, they’re offering to plan one.

Last year, the first Women’s March —with its whimsical pink pussyhats paired with a dead-serious message about sexual violence— was announced for Washington and inspired sister marches in every US state and several cities globally. An estimated 4 million people marched nationwide, far exceeding expectations. Although the march was prompted by Hillary Clinton losing the election to US President Donald Trump (and held the day after his inauguration) it came to be about all the systems that threaten women’s equality, health, and human rights.

Importantly, it was also framed as a debut of a reinvigorated movement, not the culmination of one.

Should you go to one of the January marches, expect to see more tie-ins from other activist and special interest groups. The women’s marches network will kick off an initiative to register 1 million women to vote in conjunction with voters’ rights organizations, for instance. The project will continue throughout the year, ahead of the 2018 National Voter Registration Day in September and November’s midterm elections.

Stop fugging women. We vote and they should be terrified what we have to say.

...and apparently they run for office too. The Virginia results were amazing. The momentum must continue.

Brava VA!

Not going to happen.

it is not going to happen.

NEVER!

need a change in leadership....with what we have now, it proves totally that it's time for a change...every democrat running will get my vote, especially women this time around.....you tell it like it is and has to be for survival of the human race.....true change in leadership at all levels of government.....

I may well be voting with my vagina this time around. It was claimed I did it with Hill...so untrue, I voted for the most qualified candidate So sue me... My vagina vote sure trumps their penis vote the other night.

But, the two cents I’ve been adding for years:

The biggest difference between Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party?

The Tea Party dropped the antics, put in their grown-up clothes, registered as candidates, and then went door to door.

There have been some amazing successes with Occupy-types. He might not have won the primary, but everyone pays attention to Bernie Sanders now. I can’t help, though, wonder what might have been if the the hardcore Bernie-crats (like me to a degree) had all joined the Democratic Party years ago.

A march? That’s a long weekend.

Running for office and registering voters? Day in and day out? That’s the hard work, but in the end the only work that matters.

Yep. A long day, not a weekend it makes.

It is and was last year a grand day for all women. I was there. Men women children gay straight trans BLM Muslim...all colors and stripes were there. No sex was excluded and all cheered our cause as we cheered those as well.

If you read the article, these women are signing up by the thousands. Women know all about hard work. We have done it for all the ages.

This year's January March in Los Angeles was unforgettable. The national news media kept focus on everything East of the Rockies, while in Los Angeles we had at least 3/4 million people, and likely a million. For hours, my friend and I were locked into place by the enormity of the crowds. We had been told there would be food trucks, but we never saw them -- I can only assume they sold out early and left. I'm glad my friend and I brought lunch, snacks, and water. The Santa Barbara Women's Political Committee organized at least 10 busloads of women who left before dawn to go to Los Angeles. I saw banners from outlying towns all over the place.


Resist!

Hekate, we got 175K on the Boston Common. The Common is not all that big. My friend and I brought water but no food. We had no clue where the potties were...so only sipped the water.

Women rocked it that day and we will do it again in 2018.

BOOM!

RESIST.

PERSIST.

I was there for 2017. Amazing experience.

2018....then again and again.

Love you!

“we’re as mad as hell, and we are not going to take it anymore”
RESIST...PERSIST
And REVOLT

but being old and disabled there is no way I can..but I will root for the women who can and will march. Bless them.

Bless your heart it will be there with us as well.

I see no reason why timing it at all relevant. If there’s a reason it might be that often sequels aren’t as good as the original. If it were a smaller march the media would fixate on that.


Then again Godfather 2 was better than Godfather, so sometimes that’s not always true. Anyway, if women want to march I say go for it. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the last one. It lifted me after one of the darkest moments in our Republic and got the resistance off to a big start.

The march belongs to all of us.

The sense of community and common purpose is invigorating , re-energizing and inspiring. After the year we have witnessed, we need this. NOW.

We need to do this for us.

I've seen my non-political friends start to disengage, like they were disengaged before Trump. They were all fired up after the inauguration. They marched. They sent postcards to reps. Now, they're suffering from outrage fatigue. Three of my closest friends couldn't be bothered to call about the ACA a few months ago. I'm pretty sure they'll vote in 2018. Pretty sure.
