Women's March On DC was incredible!

I have never seen so many people. This was an anti-Trump statement to the max. We put him on notice that he lost the popular vote and we will stand up for the environment, women's rights, immigrants, the LGBT community and minorities.

I was so inspired by the March for Women's Lives in 2004. That was my first protest and when I became an activist.

Thank you to all who participated everywhere.

It means everything to those of us who couldn't, and have to do our part with our keyboards!

This is the best I have felt for 2 months.

Resistance starts right now. What an outpouring of LOVE and support for Muslims, LGBT people, immigrants, the environment.

This movement is just beginning and it will be huge!
