I will be there in DC, probably standing next to my pastor.
Regarding finding hope in this troubled time one of my hopes is that this election will inspire an army of young women to get involved in politics at the local level. It will take time but that will be a game changer.
@TonyK, assuming you’re a guy, JOIN the ladies!
@mom23travelers – yes, local activism is key. It’s much easier to fight Washington when you’ve got your community, and your state, behind you.
@katliamom: I Ilive in East Podunk or I would gladly join in. I’m sure some bright woman will figure out a way for males like me to show their support.
One of my biggest hopes for the marches is that many more hundreds of thousands participate than go to the inauguration.
I know we are not a representative group but I am THRILLED to see all of the support shown here.
Everyone wearing something the same can create quite an effect. A long time ago (1978) I went to the ERA march. It was summer and we all wore white. It was gorgeous. (But not very effective, sadly.)
I know there are three or four buses from my area going to DC but I may participate in the Philadelphia one instead. I think my NYC daughter is planning to attend the DC one - lots of bus trips organized from East Coast cities. I think my Seattle son will attend one in his area. For Christmas he suggested that in lieu of a present we might donate to the ACLU or Planned Parenthood. 
Something else to consider wearing,

I just bought one even though it will likely be underneath my down coat.
I was thinking the same thing.
Oh thank you for that, EB!
I like the idea of wearing the suffragette colors, white and purple. I’d love to wear a white winter coat and a purple scarf. Hmm, may have to hunt something down …
I made a small (3") quilt block of Hillary’s logo, did it in suffragette colors and made it into a pin. Wore it on my purple blazer on election day. Will be wearing it again at the DC march. If you see me, say hi!
Great thread - looking into local events
I hope we do run into each other, CD. Would be fun to have a cc meetup, but I think the logistics would be tough!
I’m going from Long Island. Our community hired a bus. Looking forward to at least feeling like I’m doing something to express outrage
Many of my friends are either marching in DC or in their respective cities…including some who weren’t the “join the protests to protest” types.
Many others including yours truly will only be with them in spirit due to work or other prior obligations on that day/week(s).
To those marching, stay safe and be well.
This truly is an uplifting thread - to me anyway!
Please be sure to post any updates here - from your plans, to the bus ride, to your experience - always listing your March city if you’re willing.
It’s giving a lot of rah-rah and warm fuzzies.
Thanks for starting it, @abasket! You’ve garnered new recruits.
I live outside of DC and have four non-overlapping sets of friends going, so I’ll have to choose. DH plans to come along.
5 days of solid rain up to the 20th. The 20th is only 40% so it is quite possible that the 21st will be an easy drizzle
or just cloudy. Fingers crossed. 44 degrees overall. Portland, OR
