1. I didn't hear about it. When is it scheduled?

Neither of my two daughters, nor my DIL, have mentioned it to me. I can't go due to my caregiving duties for my husband, but I'd like to at least know about it...sheesh

3. Not as long as Lucy Flores and Samia Assed are on the board and the policy goals

contain stuff like this:

Policy One Specifics:
• Federal government cancels all of the student debt it owns
• State governments cancel all the student debt they own

7. I am looking at the bigger picture. That's why I choose to march with The Women's March Alliance

in my own hometown.

4. I will be marching with the NYC Women's March Alliance.

On January 21, 2017, the Women’s March on NYC coordinated the assembly of an estimated 750,000 people to demonstrate public support for women’s rights. Dozens of unique grassroots organizations joined this event under a shared vision that all humans are equal and deserve equal treatment. We are and have always been 100% independent from Women’s March, Inc.

Following this event, 120,000 individuals registered with Women’s March on NYC to continue receiving information about women’s rights and future events. An additional 33,000 registered to follow Women’s March on NYC on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Because of this public demand for continued information, education, and events that support human rights, the Women’s March on NYC created the nonprofit Women’s March Alliance (WMA) whose mission is to raise women’s voices through education and activism. We will equip our communities with the tools necessary to demand change and defend our rights.

8. Great way to splinter a movement....I am not subscribing to it. nt

9. This group has led the ONLY Women's March in NYC since the very first year.

So what movement are we splintering?

10. And as for splintering...

In 2017, the Washington organizers appropriated the words of a prominent woman leader without attribution, determined that a sister who had recently run for president should be "disappeared" by prohibiting any mention of or reference to her name, and then invited the slovenly Michael Moore to give his mansplain' speech on what the wimenfolk are doin' all wrong.

And that was before the antisemitism.
