More than 14,000 join Women's March on Tallahassee

[TexasTowelie]

More than 14,000 people participated in the Women’s March on Tallahassee Saturday afternoon, a Tallahassee Police Department officer said. To put that in perspective, 11,675 people attended the sold out Florida State men's basketball game versus Louisville happening at the same time.

The crowd, made up of mostly women — ranging from toddlers to those with graying hair and wrinkles — braved the rain. They marched for women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, equal pay and Black Lives Matter.

“We’re fighting for women’s rights, we’re fighting against hate, we’re fighting for equality,” said Laura Blessing, a native Tallahasseean.

Blessing was at the march with her 12-year-old daughter Cameron. Cameron’s sign read, “Girls just wanna have fun-damental human rights.”

1. I was there!

I disagree about mostly women. I saw a ton of men. My sister and I committed on the fact that there were so many of the fellas.
