@happymomof1 I’ll be waving right back!
LOL, mine too; it was a soggy mess but we still loved it!
@“Youdon’tsay” You can carpool in Lyft. Just pick that option, and they can add other riders. Cheaper, too.
NYC with my D
Just ran out and got our sign making supplies. Had to buy extra because D21 is doing the Pride march the next day - my little social justice warrior! Not sure what we will put on our signs yet, I like the idea of just putting victims pictures up there.
I’ll be in DC with a good friend, wearing a St. Mary’s College of Maryland tee shirt. The college, where my daughter is a junior, is a few miles from this week’s high school shooting,
How sad is it that I just wrote “this week’s high school shooting”?
Marching in Albany.
@intparent, could you wrap your sign in plastic somehow?
Agree a clear plastic garbage bag would be good protection against rain or similar. Pulled taut and taped it shouldn’t obscure the sign.
Could work, but I wasn’t planning a stop at the store tonight.
If you have any clear plastic sheeting or even plastic wrap, that should provide some protection. Illegible signs are hard for viewers to decipher.
I’m going with a group of friends (including two high schoolers) to Boston.
Madison, Wisconsin, where our high schools had a large march already in recent weeks. It was great to be home and know that another generation was taking up the movement for social justice. But I will be there tomorrow.
Gonna ride my bike to the San Jose March, with a friend. Bike paths almost the entire way, along the Bay and the creeks.
Husband and I are going to a march in our state.
My mom in her 80s is going to her local march with some friends.
My college kiddo is going to a march 1 hour away from college with a group of friends coming back from and giving up the last day of their Spring Break.
Ocean City NJ Boardwalk walk
I was vacillating between the one in Sacramento and the one in San Francisco, but am opting for SF because I can take BART right to where the rally is taking place. Heartened to see that the weather forecast has gotten a lot better than what they originally said it would be. I chickened out of the Women’s March last year because of the bad weather, and regretted it, so I am determined to attend this one no matter what!
I will be at the West Hartford CT March with friends.
Trying for Washington D.C. on Capital Hill. I think that it will be most effective, because that is where the lawmakers are located and can see the marching. Best of luck to you all and it is amazing to support this cause.
I took BART to the first Women’s March. BART was so packed. The train we were on was delayed and delayed, and then it couldn’t stop at the station closest to the March because the station was so full of people no more could fit.
So, if this is as big as the Women’s March, expect many many many friends to join you in SF.
Organizers in DC are hoping for 500k. If they reach that, it’ll surpass the numbers put up by the women’s march last year.
