Oh noes it's growing

[lunasun]

The number of people who attended the Women's March in Chicago on Saturday exceeded the number who took part in the march one year ago this weekend, according to Chicago's ABC affiliate.

Roughly 50,000 more women attended the march this year, which was titled "March to the Polls" bringing the number to 300,000 participants.

Last year's event drew 250,000 marchers to the Windy City, according to the report.

CNN reported that Los Angeles also had their largest Women's March yet, with 500,000 people joining for the event this year.

3. That's great -- and a relief.

I thought you might be referring to a certain Mammoth Ass.

It's already eaten sixty million people -- and it's coming for YOU!!!

4. Ours in Nevada was bigger too.

No official numbers that I can find yet. Will probably be a couple more hours before the estimated totals are published.

Very exciting to be a part of any demonstration against this corrupt conservative regime.

[DemocracyMouse]

11. Yes, corrupt x 1000. Conservative? What is conserved?

My favorite sign from today's Women's March, at which Sen. Barbara Boxer spoke said: "They tried to bury us, not knowing we were seeds."

17. +1

[RandomAccess]

18. That's what I've been thinking about ALL DAY

Thinking of Hillary's "loss," last year's march, this year's march, how many women are running for office this year ---

It's apparently a Mexican proverb, which adds its own little bit of delightful irony to the mix.

9. Never stop!

"-first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!'"

[Honeycombe8]

10. Wow. Hear them roar, huh? nt

12. DC seemed smaller this year -- and that's a good thing IMO!

It means sisters and allies are mobilizing in their backyards. Today WAS AWESOME!!

Thaks to the Shut-Down, DC had a visit from Speaker Pelosi!

22. Oh sorry I now read less than last yr for the Austin march but as you say no numbers out

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. My town is dwarfed by such numbers, however...

event organizers estimate the number of attendees yesterday more than doubled last year.

[Fresh_Start]

24. favorite sign of the march...women are the wall....Trump will pay

I love how it ties together so many themes...
