Women's March

Unless you are boycotting social media and the news you know that there are Women's Marches going on across the nation this Saturday, January 21!

The main march will be in Washington DC, so we will start there.
If you were lucky enough to get a seat on a plane, a train, or an automobile here are some things you may need. Also, you my friend are crazy awesome and I'm incredibly jealous.

The organizers released a guiding vision and I found it inspiring.

Women's March App  Contains an activity feed, a map, list of speakers and the agenda.

Rally Bus If you are taking a bus through Rally Bus they have an app that may allow you to keep track of your bus.

DC Metro The DC Metro will open at 5am on Saturday for the march. I have used this app in the past when I've visited DC and found it very helpful.

Posters: The amplifier foundation and ThoughtMatter have posters available for download which you can then print at Staples or some sort of store.

Where to EAT This website will tell you which restaurants are donating a share of their inauguration weekend profits to Organizations including Planned Parenthood, ACLU, and Human Rights Campaign.

Also, on the Women's March website they have a download of the ACLU's Know Your Rights: Demonstrations and Protests.

Now, there will be a sister march here in Cleveland. It will start at Public Square at 10am with guest speakers till 11am. They say there is no restrictions on backpacks or bags but I would try to keep it small. The Facebook page says there are 3,000 going and 4,900 interested in going, so have a plan if you get separated from friends. Weather in Cleveland is looking good for Saturday, high of 58 with a 10% chance of rain. Dress appropriately.

SEE YOU ALL AT THE RESISTANCE!!

  1. It seems to me that a logical move for our Ohio Together group would be to join with South Euclid Democrats (which I understand is an arm of the Cuyahoga County Dems& therefore the State of OH etc.) It is an official group. There is a $5 dues fee. They are having a Pot Luck on Tuesday Jan 31 at 6:30 at the South Euclid Community Center. It would be a good way to see what they are about and to see if we(?) are a good fit. I plan on going. Vickie M
