Day 1827: Women's March on Washington

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the march.  I confess that I got so wrapped up in the events that I took very few pictures.  We departed at midnight Friday and returned home at 3:30 am today.  I'm beat, but exhilarated!

All along the route to the rally point, we encountered women from all over the nation and world.

I was intrigued by the huge variety of signs which expressed so many of our thoughts on the issues. 

Lots of imagination and wit went into their signs!

This one spoke to my hopes for the future.

There is debate about the value of the march, but it seemed to me to be the beginning salvo in a long war to upend the old order.  Women are determined not to permit the injustices continue.

One of the signs said, "I can't believe I still have to protest this shit!"  It's a reflection of my generation's return to past conditions before the sexual revolution of the 1960s.  So many younger women have taken those gains for granted.  I hope they won't do so any longer.

As we marched by the Newseum,  I took note of the first amendment.

I am exhausted and will write more about this in the next few days.
