March on Sun. and there are two marches tomorrow as well. The Women's March followed by Impeach The System March to "Unite Against T****'s Fascist Agenda" organized by WORD (Women Organized to Resist and Defend).
We are NOT going away as they thought and hoped would happen after the Women's March last year. WE ARE STRONGER than they ever imagined Stronger Together!
