I was unable because of prior commitments, but then I came home, opened my laptop to read the news, and was crying as I clicked through from D.C., to Chicago, to Boston, to overseas. It was the first good news I'd seen in ages. It gave me great hope, which I still have. Thanks for being a voice!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678523115908249689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-671217791865516862017-02-13T17:12:46.989-05:002017-02-13T17:12:46.989-05:00Not shocked at all.

We marched in Sacramento. It felt exhilarating to be a part of history. <br /><br />The march was intended so that women would unite "to end violence and promote rights for women, LGBT people, workers, people of color, people with disabilities and immigrants." I will not spin it that way...I marched specifically to protest Trump Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511920568958553719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-12250116772285961462017-02-09T17:52:34.536-05:002017-02-09T17:52:34.536-05:00You Go Girl !!

Wow! I haven't paid much attention to the news for a while now, even after the march, so I hadn't heard that figure.<br /><br />Most everyone that I have talked to since the march has a negative impression, based on TV and other news coverage.

So many of the people that I talked to at the march, and while I worked our local polling place on election day, expressed so much fear. We can't be afraid of our differences because that's what makes the US special.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.com
