more buses than used for the inauguration.

I haven't heard the official number count.

1,000 more buses is impressive.

These women, their families and their friends, are going to be a key element in empowering the progressive movement in this country. Profound thanks to each and every one of them.

Let's also not forget all the marches in major cities! My 76 year old sister is marching in Cleveland!!!

Each one of us has to do our part, even if we can't get to a protest march. We MUST remain vocal and outspoken about our rights and NEVER let the right wingers and trump silence us.

WE ARE WOMEN - HEAR US ROAR!!!
