Just got home from the Denver march.
We waited about an hour for the march to start. Delayed because of the unexpected crowd size, over 100,000. Based on Facebook signups, we thought that about 45,000 would show.
The march was amazing. So many people, waiting patiently to begin, chanting, talking, singing - so pumped up. Thousands of signs - far more than we expected. So many were clever, funny, and smart. Once the march started, we walked very slowly because of the crowd size. Took about 2 hours to walk 1.4 miles. Didn't matter. So many people having fun and clearly energizing each other.
Overall, an incredible experience. The task ahead - organizing and channeling this support into making a real legislative difference.

Showers of love and joy to you and all who walked the walk.
well over 100,000 like-minded champions for human rights.
The light rail was packed - we all calmly waited in a patient, positive atmosphere through 3-4 trains before we could get on and head downtown.
I have had the weight of dread in my chest each day when I wake up. I was so happy to be DOING something - the most important part of democracy IS SHOWING UP!
IT WAS LOVELY!
