Why March?




Last Saturday there were marches all over the world.  Women’s Marches

Some people don’t know what the marches are for...

We’re marching for rights...the right to quality healthcare, the right to choose, the right to be in charge of our own reproductive systems, the right to equal pay, the right to be treated with respect, the right to disagree with every piece of buffoonery coming out of the White House, the right to not descend into the way things were in the 19th or even 20th centuries, the right to not be sexualized or sexually harassed, the right to yell “bullshit” every time Sarah Huckabee Sanders opens her mouth, the right to stand up to evangelical “Christians” who harbor the delusion that God has somehow anointed Donald Trump to run this great nation, the right to run for office, the right to vote for better representation at all levels of government, the right to be dissatisfied and to VOICE THAT DISSATISFACTION LOUDLY, the right to show our daughters, nieces, granddaughters (our sons,  nephews and grandsons too) that we can bring about change.

We’re marching for change.  We’re marching for unity.  We’re marching for peace.



I could go on for days giving reasons to march.

Some  people still don’t get it...that’s OK.  

But don’t belittle those who do get it.  Don’t post some right wing crap from some uniformed talking head.  Don’t listen to Fox News (1. It’s not real news and 2. They’re still talking about Hillary’s emails and will be when the ICBMs land in Los Angeles).  

Ask someone about it and LISTEN to what they have to say.  You don’t have to agree.  

But get out of our way.
