Women's March 2018
West Chester, PA
January 20, 2018
I went to the Women's March in Washington, DC and loved every damn minute of it. It was re-affirming, uplifting, positive, grand, powerful, exciting, soothing, and empowering. It was a tonic for me. It was such a high. This march helped me get back on an even keel after our awful election last November 2016.
But this year, I decided that I wouldn't go to DC for the march. I wanted to go to the march in Philadelphia and I signed up to volunteer my time. However, it was the day before the march and no one had contacted me to volunteer. I hadn't made any plans with friends and I woke up that morning feeling lazy and cold and filled with excuses as to why I shouldn't go.
Then I saw that there was a march right in my back yard. OK, only 300 people showed up but hey, there was a presence in the hood.
But whenI went on Facebook that night, I saw one posting after another from friends who marched in Philly. I wished I had marched with them. So next year, I am booking a hotel room in Philadelphia for Friday and Saturday night and I am having a big-assed powerful gathering of friends who stand for women.
