I’m one of the (army of) volunteers putting on the Women’s March on Denver. So far, more than 15,000 people expressed interest. And yes, many of them are (very cool, very supportive) men.
Ladies (and gents) in DC, our feet may be in Denver, but our support will be in DC as well.
Doing the march in Az.
I had never heard of it until this thread, and then I googled it. I read about all the women knitting and planning to wear pink and cat-eared “Pussy Power hats”, up to 100K of them already.
I think people are going to have a hard time taking this march seriously. Particularly if people throw in every reason for the kitchen sink into it. It’s too bad, because I think women have a lot more to worry about right now. So I’ll stay home, write to my congressional leaders when appropriate, donate money, and vote when the opportunity comes up. Hope everyone has a great time.
I’m going to the march in DC. Staying with friends. I reserved a seat on a train with my DD like on November 9 . … .
My friend has several other old friends staying with her, some from Ohio, and from elsewhere.

and I am buying a hat. and I am wearing a hat. THIS HAT. I am SO.VERY. ANGRY.
cannot wear a pink hat that says ■■■■■ power. Just can’t do that.
Black is ANGER . Take me seriously.
and I will carry a sign. and I will be vocal. because I want my anger, my voice and my presence to be counted in a very visual way
I like those pussy hats. 
Honestly, I think the marches WILL help by showing support for anyone feeling marginalized by the statements and stances of the new administration and by providing a collective voice/visual showing of support.
I think one can march and still do other things described too, right? They aren’t mutually exclusive.
I don’t necessarily know if showing up will do anything to show our anger, our fear, our power.
I DO know that not showing up won’t do anything.
I’ll take my chances.
Not a chance. Won’t pay attention.
The two women I personally know who are going have planned their trips differently. One made her own travel plans from the Chicago area, but has family and friends in the DC area they can stay with. The other is going on a bus from Iowa with others.
I cannot go or ever participate here in lieu of being there as H and I had already made plans a couple of months ago to be in the SF area that weekend. Otherwise I probably would have done it here. I’m not familiar enough with the DC area to make my own plans, and the thought of riding on a bus overnight, attending a march, then riding back on a bus exhausts me. But to those who have that kind of stamina, I say go for it. I just know I’d be suffering the consequences for days after returning. I really think there are a variety of ways people are getting there, where they’re staying, how they’re getting around once there, etc.
Here are some practical tips for dressing warmly and what to bring to the march, no matter the color of your hat.

@teriwtt Here you go.

@teriwtt, I’ll be marching in Oakland. Bring your H and join us!
I like that hat. And I like your post. I hope everyone behaves and dresses with dignity, because the press will focus on and show the ridiculous, in their dress, actions, and their signage. I don’t want people to enable this to be turned into a joke. Women are angry, they are serious, they are very concerned, and they have reason to be.
Ha! I knew someone would suggest we join a march in SF. 
And I would, except we’ll be traveling with another couple, are only there four nights, three of which will be spent up around Muir Woods/Pt. Reyes National Seashore. The more vacations I take, the less I like to spend them in a city, especially if it’s a city I’ve already been to. And this trip is tied into a business trip for H and a co-worker, so we couldn’t change the date.
But if something happens and we ditch the other couple, I’ll be there! I’m guessing the weather would be much more tolerable there than in Chicago or D.C.!
There isn’t anything in CT.
I am going to DC–driving from MA and picking up D2 along the way (she is in grad school in Providence). D1 will fly from Chapel Hill and meet us. We have good friends in Annapolis and will stay there. My friend and her two daughters will go to the march in DC with us. She persuaded her husband to drive us to DC–he works in the city.
I am also politically active in other ways–serve on a finance committee for my Congressperson and have held a fundraiser for my current US Senator. I also work for local candidates in my town.
@thumper1 Both Stamford and Hartford appear to be having marches. I can send info to you if you wish.
I live in a D.C. suburb but unfortunately I do NOT like crowds. For instance, I have never been down the Mall for 4th of July. Wish I could.
This will be my first participation in a protest of any kind in my lifetime, but as of now I am going to NYC. This is an important time for women to come together. I am not going to wear any of the hats or anything other than warm clothing. I agree with the thought that this is serious and anything over the top or undignified detracts from that – also my D who is interning for the month in NYC may join us and I want to set the right example.
But I don’t see this as a protest just for women, it really is about basic human rights for all those who might be marginalized by this administration. And what about the men? He emasculates every man in the room (and I am being polite here) if they dare to disagree or challenge him. I wouldn’t want any man I care about anywhere near this guy. This protest is really for everyone.
I’ve been asked to share on the marches in CT as several people may be looking for info:
