Check in if you have plans to march on the 21st!

[cry baby]

I am so privileged to be marching in Austin, Texas with my sisters and brothers of the Anderson County Chapter of Texas Democratic Women.

[woodsprite]

1. Family of 4 (hubby, son, daughter and myself) - we'll be in DC! n/t

[cry baby]

4. I'll be marching for my 89 yr old mom as well.

What a wonderful experience for your kids!

My son will be marching with his girlfriend in Nashville. My daughter has a newborn and won't be able to go.

[msongs]

2. in honolulu yes

[cry baby]

6. I haven't marched since the start of the Iraq war.

I'm overdue in my activism.

[still_one]

3. Yes, in Northern California

[cry baby]

7. Beautiful place! I hope there are lots of people there. nt

[still_one]

18. I think so. San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose are good to go

[cry baby]

21. I think Austin will have a good turnout, too.....for Texas. nt

[still_one]

29. Austin is an oasis in a desert

[cry baby]

43. That it is, my friend. nt

[likesmountains 52]

5. Yes! DC for me!

[cry baby]

8. I just can't make that trip from Tx...sure would love to be there with you! nt

[MFM008]

9. I can't afford a bus

Ticket but my heart is with you.

[cry baby]

12. How about I carry you in my heart?

I feel so fortunate to be able to afford it cause I'm sharing costs with the others that are leaving from here.

[MFM008]

27. Thanks

Am there in spirit 1000 percent.

[crazycatlady]

10. I plan on marching in NYC

I need to figure out the pussyhat pattern (pink hat with cat ears) to show solidarity.

[cry baby]

13. Good luck with the hat...and take pics so you can share the experience! nt

[dhol82]

24. I'll be there also

What is the hat thing? Anything for the march or just your thing?

[crazycatlady]

25. Pussyhat project

https://www.pussyhatproject.com/

It is for the march, but I live up to my screen name and wear cat ears quite regularly.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

11. Marching in DC!

[cry baby]

14. I'll be there with you in spirit. nt

[50 Shades Of Blue]

16. Thank you!!!

[11 Bravo]

15. I will spend that day (my birthday as it happens) in DC, expressing my utter contempt ...

for the tedious tangerine toddler. My darling wife and our two sons will be there with me.

[cry baby]

19. Since you and family will be there,

I have no doubt that the march will be a success. I know you will make major waves!! =)

[11 Bravo]

22. I'll be wearing my "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament" shirt.

[cry baby]

56. I hope that slogan will get you exposure on tv...probably not faux,

but maybe, with your big personality, you'll get interviewed for one of the other networks.

My cynical side just hopes that the marches all over the country will be at least a blurb on the news.

[gratuitous]

17. Marching in Portland, which is technically not part of the U.S. according to some news outlets

Still cogitating on what my sign is going to say. Leaning toward the verse from Micah.

[cry baby]

20. LOL! I'm taking notes on good signage...would love to know

what you settle on.

What is the verse from Micah?

[gratuitous]

23. Micah 6:8

Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

Also thinking about T-Bone Burnett's lyric from "The Wild Truth": Are we supposed to take all this greed and fear and hatred seriously?

[cry baby]

30. I like both. Maybe a sandwich sign with a different message on

each side.

[Doreen]

59. Portland Oregon?

I am moving there This month.

[gratuitous]

63. Yup, the big one.

Welcome to town!

[Doreen]

65. Where in Portland does this happen?

[gratuitous]

72. Here's the website

[Squinch]

26. My ride to DC fell through, so I'll be in Union Square!!!!

[cry baby]

32. I hope you have a great time! nt

[TrekLuver]

57. You are damn skippy that I will be there in NYC Union Square with my TRUMP IS TRASH sign.

Should be an interesting subway ride in. I make sure to face the signs OUTWARD. God help any Trashpot lover who even THINKS about steppin to me.

[Squinch]

62. I'm going to look for you! I'm trying to think of something that incorporates his hatred for

women and his treason.

[TrekLuver]

66. TRUMP (equals sign) TRAITOR or TRUMP (equals sign) TREASON

For some reason the = won't post in the title.....What I do is I blow up letters and then paste them on the sign - must be cardboard..oak tag etc..is too flimsy. Then I cover the whole sign in shipping tape so it will hold up all day rain or shine....and I can also reuse it and boy do I plan to reuse it....LOL.

When I make my sign I will start a thread with a pic and encourage others to post theirs..and we'll do a thread the night before to rally the troops.

[bettyellen]

67. We should meetup after! I'm wondering if Priyanka is in DC or NYC for this?

[Squinch]

73. I would love to! Let's exchange phone #s before we go so we can coordinate. I'd love to put a face

to your name!

[bettyellen]

74. I'd love that! Should we start a thread in the Lounge or NY forum?

I'd love to meet a bunch of us!

[Squinch]

75. Good idea!

[crazycatlady]

71. I'll be there with a PUSSY GRABS BACK sign

[pangaia]

28. The last time I marched anywhere was in the Boy Scouts drum and bugle corp.

Probably about 1955 or so. ?

So no. I will not be marching anywhere.

I will, however be walking !!!!

[cry baby]

33. LOL...you got me!

Maybe I ought to choose the walking, too.

[ileus]

31. Work from 8-4:30

[cry baby]

34. I sure understand that. My boss was gracious enough to let me have that day off.

You will be in my thoughts, then, if you don't mind.

[Staph]

35. My two sisters, a niece or two, some friends and I

are planning to march in DC. However, if the weather is bad, we may not make it. It's 400 miles one way, over the spine of the Appalachians, and even the interstate highways can be treacherous in the snow and ice.

I looked at the pussyhats, but I think they're kind of tacky looking. So I'm knitting dark pink berets for the lot of us!

[cry baby]

40. Long drive for you and your bunch! Be safe! nt

[riderinthestorm]

36. Youngest daughter and I in Chicago

[cry baby]

41. I wish my daughter was going to be with me.

She has a newborn so she won't be going to this one.

[femmocrat]

37. I will be in DC!

I'm going alone, but with about 500 women from SW PA. I signed up for the bus on the very first day.

I haven't marched since the 1960s, but I felt like I had to go to this.

[cry baby]

42. Small, intimate group of 500. I hope you are safe and have a good time.

[s-cubed]

38. Yes. Hubby and I will march. We live in northern Virginia: PM me if you need some floor space.

[cry baby]

44. Very kind of you...thank you!

I will be sharing hotel rooms with my Texas friends.

[sheshe2]

39. Yes

In Boston~

[cry baby]

45. I love that city! My son went to University of Boston his freshman year.

Be safe. Let us make a difference and begin our resistance.

[sheshe2]

47. yes,

we all need to stay safe.

[kwassa]

46. We live just north of DC. We are going.

Though I hate mass demonstratons on the mall, and hope hope hope it is not as cold as Obama's inaugural. Froze my ass.

[cry baby]

49. I admit my jealousy. What a moment in history you got to see!

I hope we, in all our gatherings, make some history of our own.

Stay warm!!

[peggysue2]

48. I'll be there

Flying into Philly on the 15th then ride-sharing into DC on the 19th. In between, I'll be visiting family and friends in the area. Will be marching on Saturday with my daughter-in-law and friend.

Looking forward to it.

[cry baby]

50. DC is first on my list to visit whenever I get to travel at length again.

I plan on 2 days for the Smithsonian. Your plan sounds like a fun one.

[Gothmog]

51. I may be meeting you in Austin

[cry baby]

53. On whatever sign I have, I will be advertising DU in a lower corner.

It would be a pleasure meeting you! Let us hope for pretty weather and lots of people.

[Gothmog]

55. I may bring some signs from the National Convention

[cry baby]

58. Sounds wonderful. nt

[LisaM]

52. In Seattle, yes, I do.

Hope to see some sisters there.

[cry baby]

54. I'm sure you will, and we will all begin a powerful tide, I hope. nt

[mainer]

60. In DC, hubby and me.

Don't know where to meet or what to wear or what sign to carry. Suggestions welcome.

[cry baby]

61. I think the planned route is on the web...

Not sure how to post a link, but Google the March.

It may help with the details. There are threads on DU talking about signs and such. I've heard that if you're going to use mass transit, you may not be able to take a sign with a stick or such. Others on the sign threads should be able to let you know about that.

[Hekate]

64. Bussing into Los Angeles with other Dem Women!

I just met some others who are driving in the night before to stay with family/friends. Given that I have to get up before 5 am to catch the bus at 6 am, I wish I could do that too.

[cry baby]

69. Am I wrong to think that LA will be a huuuuuge crowd?

Do u know how many are expected there?

[PlanetBev]

68. Taking LA subway to Pershing Square

Making a Pussy Grabs Back sign for the occasion.

[cry baby]

70. I love that slogan!! I'm laughing so hard...I'll be laughing all day

at that one! You made my day, Bev.

[Initech]

79. I want to join the LA rally!

[skylucy]

76. Marching with my husband and (possibly also bringing a friend). Going to either the march in San

Francisco or the march in Sacramento!

[cry baby]

84. Whichever you choose, I hope you and hubby enjoy yourselves

and feel powerful in the experience.

[Throck]

77. Bingo, got my ticket.

[cry baby]

85. Be safe and have fun.

Which city will you be in?

[Throck]

94. DC

Union paid for my ticket and my wife.

[cry baby]

95. Nice! Just read that Kentucky just became a right to work state.

That'll devastate the unions there. Very sad. The unions built the middle class and I'm very worried that they seem to be slipping away.

[marlakay]

78. Going to local march in Eureka

With my meditation group ladies. We want to bring light and peace and stand for all women.

[cry baby]

86. Light and peace...can't think of anything better to take and spread around.

I will try to follow your lead.

[Eliot Rosewater]

80. So proud and honored to share this earth with you and your friends.

[cry baby]

88. And you, Eliot!

Peace!

[a la izquierda]

81. My friend and I are going.

We're both professors.

From Taos in Santa Fe! (I'm in Albuquerque). Very excited!

[cry baby]

91. My favorite state! My favorite city in my favorite state! nt

[cry baby]

92. Good advice...I will!

Thank you, momma!

[Gothmog]

96. Juanita Jean is planning on coming

[Gothmog]

We will be there in her stead.

[kstewart33]

97. My family will march in Denver.

A protest is scheduled for Civic Center Park.

[cry baby]

99. I sure do wish I could have my family with me.

My son is in Tn and will be marching in Nashville. My mom is 89 so she can't come with me to Austin.

[politicat]
