early (9:30) and pretty cold, but a much bigger than expected turnout in Iowa City.

Three speeches, then a march around the pedestrian mall downtown.
Peaceful and uplifting.
Lots and lots of young women from college age down to at least junior high. This really gives me hope that these youngsters won't just follow the old paths in their lives.

15,000 marchers per News12 (NJ News).

Both Governor Phil Murphy and his wife, Tammy (a victim of a sex attack) spoke to the crowd. Also calling in were Senator Corey Booker. Speaking was the daughter of Bella Abzug.

Trivia: Until this march, Morristown has been Ground Zero for public marches by the Tea Party and an attempted (canceled) rally by white supremacists. While they're not going away, we shared the same turf with larger crowds.

It was so worth it.
