I am sure there were millions outside of the US too. This is great, I hope the energy stays alive.

Thanks for posting.

And by us I mean:

(1) Women of the world, because they know that when women are disrespected in the United States, there is no hope elsewhere.
(2) Our values as Americans. Most of the signs I saw today, and in these pictures, had to do with upholding basic American values, as enshrined in our Constitution. They were signs saying that we won't tolerate hate, that we welcome everyone, that equality is our goal. People look to the US as a beacon for these values, and when they see them threatened here, they know that tolerance and equality are threatened everywhere.

People of the world, join hands!
