I'm marching in the NYC march. Anyone else marching in any of the marches around the country?

Or around the world if you are living or visiting another country on Saturday.

There are marches all over the country in every state on Saturday. Plus there are several solidarity marches in 60 other countries. The last time I checked, there were over 616 marches with 2,053,370 people signed up. It should be an interesting day.

I was planning to be at the Washington march, but due to my mother's illness I can't go.

So I'll head for the one here in Charlotte!

be a part of a historic day in Texas and the world!!

I had democraticunderground.com on my sign and several people took pictures of the sign. I also had indivisible guide.com on it!

I am dog tired...it was hot and we didn't get onto the street for about 1 1/2 hrs after the march began!

Hope you had a fun day, too!

That's where I was on January 20, 2001. And I thought nothing could possibly be worse than Bush and the SCOTUS coup.

But it looks like it will be a Rally rather than a March now? The route keeps getting shortened.

He is a long time proud feminist and liberal democrat. He doesn't like crowds but it is important to him to make a statement. Plus, he can keep my mom company. I wouldn't like her to go to the march alone.

The Dems in my town started with one charter bus, then two, now we have 10 charter buses starting at 6:00 am to get to LA on time. Exciting.
