So I and my wife are on our way to a March

for Our Lives in San Luis Obispo, CA.

San Luis Obispo is a pretty progressive town. There is a Cal Poly University there.

We have been to two Women’s marches there.

Today is for students and before it was for women.

I feel kind of sad that as a white male we will not ever be going to a men’s march for a better world.

Well i’ll tag along with the women and kids for a better world.

How about this: "Hey hey, ho ho, trump and Pence have got to go."

White dudes coming out with that will get immediate and enthusiastic support.

Trump, pence, Ryan and the entire republican party and the mess they are creating.

all-male march, and of course for that you'll have to join some right-wing group.

Itm, enjoy being a man on the march.
