Check-in here if you attended a Women's March.

Include photos and any info you have on attendance numbers if you can. It seems like the crowd are HUGE and very engaged I am curious to get a running tally of smaller marches across the nation.


I was in Charlotte, NC. Organizers expected 3,000. It is now estimated that 10,000+ attended.

Our local one ended by the time I got out of class.
But I was there in spirit

I was tasked to be the homebody and muck up the yard between our wicked California storms. I'll be receiving their reports this evening.

But I marched alone around my back yard wearing a pink tee shirt.

I'm 70 years old, so I have to be careful that I'm not observed. Some of my friends have been sent to Shady Acres for less. 😂

with my wife. Looked like 10K there but I couldn't see the end of the march or all of it at one time. Great turnout

I had no idea the marching portion had been canceled, we just followed the crowd through the Loop (i.e. Chicago's downtown). Very pleasant, energizing, and peaceful! For me, the best sign said "Left or Right, we can all see Wrong."

I almost had a panic attack from all the people! I was very close to the stage and got some great pics of Elizabeth Warren. What a great day! Anyone hear anything about estimated attendance here? The entire Common was filled!

Two rallies, one in Johnson Square and one in Wright Square, joined up and marched up Bull Street to Forsythe Park. I grabbed these photos from my friends FB pages. It was a really very impressive turnout for Savannah which leans left but generally doesn't do activism with any great sense of urgency or intensity.

Fantastic musical performances while searching the sister marches worldwide, for many hours. The Narobi March touched me the most. Women marching for the right to talk about menstruation. Imagine that.

Text women to 40649 to learn more about the movement.

In solidarity. I have a really cute photo of them posing with marchers but don't want to post in case it gets them in trouble.
