This is the energy that needed to come out of the amazing women's march turnout and it cheers my heart and soul to see this immediate and principled response to the reactionary nightmare that is happening to real people's real lives.

Writing and calling senators and reps and all that stuff is good too, don't get me wrong, but movements that make change are based on action and solidarity and this is a great example.

Someone just told me about this a couple hours ago and I am thrilled to see these pics.

xoxoox to everyone involved!
