Can we please give a hand to all the wonderful marchers in the Women's Marches [View all]

across the country, some of whom had to make an enormous effort -- boarding airplanes, buses, and trains, and sleeping on couches, in order to participate?

AND to the organizers who conceived of the plan and put so many hours and days into making it happen.

THANK YOU for whatever you had to do to be a part of that historical moment. Thank you for inspiring us all. Thank you for giving us a visible sign of the love and humanity that's still out there, and for giving us all a little more hope.
