This year's January March in Los Angeles was unforgettable. The national news media kept focus on everything East of the Rockies, while in Los Angeles we had at least 3/4 million people, and likely a million. For hours, my friend and I were locked into place by the enormity of the crowds. We had been told there would be food trucks, but we never saw them -- I can only assume they sold out early and left. I'm glad my friend and I brought lunch, snacks, and water. The Santa Barbara Women's Political Committee organized at least 10 busloads of women who left before dawn to go to Los Angeles. I saw banners from outlying towns all over the place.

Resist!
