Day after the most deplorable inauguration in history/herstory.

A call out to all defenders of human rights - please join the march!

******************

Personally, I can't go to the Washington march, although I will be joining marches in my city.

There are several threads here talking about it. Quite a few of us are going or want to go! I'm excited about it. We have our train and hotel reservations.

I just checked the Facebook page: 109K going, 204K interested in going as of right now. 💥💥💥
