Women's March On Washington 2017

I don’t think I’ve seen a thread on this topic.

I’m not insinuating talking politics. Just logistics.

But I’m curious if any CC’ers are going? Are you going with friends or family? A group? Have you done anything like this before. I have two friends going - one is my age, 57 and the other is a neighbor who is in her early 70’s (and totally cool!).

I’m real curious about it all. I also pray for everyone’s safety.

Yes, I’m going.

With female friends, on a bus one woman arranged for all of us. There may be more than one bus at this point.

There are many marches all over the country.

I think the plan has been to have something in every state capitol in addition to the major march in DC. So, if for whatever reason you can’t get to DC but want to participate, check out what is going on in your home state.

Great! If you plan to participate in DC or otherwise, if you’re willing, please share.

Hats off to you. <3

I will participate but am still deciding whether to do so in DC (have family I can stay with) or do it locally. I’ll be honest that I’ve given some thought to safety concerns and that plus the long hike to DC has made me think about staying local. I might wait and decide at the last minute depending on the weather/driving conditions at the time, something that can factor in during January.

I am going to the March in NYC.

I was going to go to DC for the inauguration if the election had turned out differently, and considered going to the march. I eventually decided not to go because, at the time I made the decision, the march wasn’t very well organized. If there’s a local march, I’ll participate.

I cannot physically go to DC :frowning:

I haven’t heard of one yet in Lansing or Ann Arbor but if they’re there, I’ll go.

Here you go, @romanigypsyeyes

My family and friends are doing the NYC march and some other friends are going to DC.

I have quite a few friends taking a bus from Philly. I have more friends and their daughters marching in Philly. I’ll be marching in Philly with both of my teenage daughters:)

Thanks! @doschicos

My birthday is within a few days of the marches so my parents will probably be down state. Guess we’ll probably make it a family affair :slight_smile:

The more, the merrier. :smiley:

I’m going, but then I live in the DC suburbs, so it’s only a Metro ride away. To be honest, I’m a bit more worried about frigid weather or freezing rain (two DC specialties around the time of inaugurations) than safety, but concern about lone crazies or more organized violence are still at the back of my mind.

Two of my former teachers and one of my friends are going to the March in DC. I’ll be going with my class too, but for the inauguration instead (sigh).

I have been ignoring the news so this is the first I have heard. I will go. THIS I will go to. Absolutely I will go.

My 16yo D and I were planning on going, with friends by bus, til I remembered she is signed up for the SAT that day. We will now attend the local march in the Boston area instead.

We are also hosting DD’s friends who are coming in for it. We are in DC suburbs so metro will do.
